Round Chandelier Wire & Beads Earrings Jewelry Making Project          Page 6

Alternative Designs: 

One alternative design that you may want to consider is to use 26 gauge wire to wrap the beginning and ending loops together.  This step may not be necessary, but it is something to consider if you are selling your earrings.  You can view how the wrap would be done in the picture at left. 

Coming Soon:

Another alternative is to use 20 gauge wire instead of 18 gauge wire and embellish each straight segment of wire with seed beads.  For the large round wire component you could add 2 or 3 seed beads between each loop.  For the small round wire component  you could add 1 or 2 seed beads between each loop.  For the connectors you could add 4-6 seed beads between the loops.  We will update this design with pictures of this approach soon.

Another alternative design is to use different sizes of circular wire components.  By making the large circular wire component one ring further from the center, you can make a three ring round chandelier earring instead of two rings.

A final alternative to consider is to make the large round wire component one ring further from the center of the jig and make the next ring two rings closer to the center.  This way you can mount one ring inside the other.
