New Jewelry Tutorial! O! My Goddess, Wire Wrapped Earring Project, Marquee Bead, Wire Weaved Jewelry

 
 


This is a wonderful and fun earring design, created so that you can attach most side drilled beads that are marquee shape, oval or teardrop. With small alterations to the wire and bead sizes, you can also use this pattern to make a matching pendant for the earrings!

Please check out my Etsy jewelry store and learn how to make wire jewelry with my easy to follow jewelry tutorials and patterns.

The earrings will measure approximately 2 inches long (including the ear wires) and 3/4 inches wide. There are 19 pages, over 132 clear and close up images in 48 detailed steps to guide you through the project. The estimated project time is 3 hours.

The tutorial uses copper wire, but you can use any type of wire. It is important however, to use the
sizes indicated in the supply list or contact me with questions regarding using other size wires. I’m happy to help.
