How to Make Chain Jewelry Earrings

Video Transcript

Hi this is Debra Windsong with expert village. Now I'd like to show you earring made with some chain and it also involves gem stone beads and a little bit of sterling silver wire. With this one, its similar to working with a necklace made of chain, you just decide which length and style of chain you'd like to use and then take some wire, probably 22 to 24 gage wire. String your bead and shape your wire and hang it from the chain in the style that you would like to see. I like to instead of using a head pin i like to give a little swirl to the bottom of the wire that holds the bead into place and that gives it a little bit more of an individual style. And then you just hook it on to the bottom of the ear wire once again. Keep in mind when you do hook these on to the loop that you use, first of all you'll be using round nose players, you'll want to make sure that the length of both earrings are the same. So sometimes that involves just being careful how you shape the little loop that will hang from the ear wire piece.
