Design: With every newsletter we provide a new jewelry design from WigJig University to spur the creative juices. The new design for this newsletter is design for the One Piece Chandelier Earrings shown at right. We show two alternative configurations for this design with two styles of finishing the top of the wire component and two spacings for the pegs to provide different looks for a similar style of earrings. These earrings are an advanced beginners design and require 20 gauge wire, head pins, beads, and commercial ear wire findings. Instructions for making these earrings can be found here. |

Past Techniques: We maintain a techniques web page that provides links to the discussion of techniques in our prior newsletters. You can visit this web page here. Follow the links on that page to the discussion of the technique in that newsletter. |

Jewelry Technique: This weeks jewelry technique is a review of the technique for making the hook and catch clasp shown at right. This clasp can be made of 16, 18, or 20 gauge wire and because the loops are wrapped closed, the clasp will be rather strong. Instructions for making this clasp can be found here. |
