Jewelry Making Techniques

This Classic Hoop Earrings jewelry project is an easy project and the earrings made are a very close match to the very common hoop earrings made commercially by casting.  These instructions show how to make a small hoop earring.  The instructions can be modified by increasing the amount of wire used and using a larger Super Peg to make a larger hoop.  The earrings can also be made with a bead dangle to add a new look to a classic design.
