Marcia's Earrings Jewelry Making Project

These earrings are a modification to a design first envisioned by that famous jewelry designer, Marcia Wiggins of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. (She is famous to us, because she is my sister.) The design is made of two or three square wire components connected to one another. This is an advanced beginner's jewelry making project. It is not suitable as a first project for a beginner, but these earrings are easy to make and with a little familiarity with making loops, anyone will be able to make these earrings.
