I call these Paper Clip with Beads Earrings because they remind me of a pair of earrings that you could make out of a paper clip.  The materials required are 20G 1/2 hard gold-filled or sterling silver wire, two head pins, two six mm beads and two 2.5mm metal beads.  This design is a very simple jewelry making project.  The earrings are unique and yet elegant.  They are also quite popular because they are so unique.
