Basic Loops The loop size will depend on how much wire you leave past the end of your beads, and around which part of your pliers you bend the loop. A good loop size is usually about 1/3 of the way from the tip of your pliers, with about 8mm of wire. Use round needle-nose pliers. If using an eye pin, decide which way you want the loop to go - the same direction as the premade loop on the other end, or 90º off. Keep this direction in mind as you bend the rest of the wire. Cut off any excess wire (we suggest retaining 8mm above the top of your beads). Grip the pin just above the top bead (at the arrow above), and bend the wire sharply toward you. Grasp the tip of the wire with pliers, and bend smoothly away from you, around the pliers. Wrapped Loops Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of the bead. Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire between the bead and the bend. Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the tip of the pliers. Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step into a series of half wraps. Trim excess with flush cutters.

Gold fill (also called gold overlay or gold-filled) is made by using heat and pressure to apply a layer of karat gold to a base of less costly metal. This produces a surface with karat gold.

A quick way to make linear earrings! Attach dangles, thread beads on, or leave plain. Use post to penetrate piercing, then pull through. Available in Sterling Silver and Vermeil. Select styles available in both original style and "U" threaders. Lengths may vary. "Original" "U" Threaders Tips Beads with 1mm+ hole (including most 6mm and 8mm PRESTIGE Crystal crystal bicones) can be strung directly onto the thread. Vermeil ear threads are slightly thicker. Changeable earrings: New earrings every day! Change the slide-on beads each time you wear them. For threads without a built-in "U": To keep beads on thread when on display card or in jewelry box, carefully add wire keepers (#33-960, #33-961) or better yet, use SmartBeads with Bead Positioning System (available in sterling and gold). These look great and are easy to put on ear threads without breaking the solder joint. Threads with built-in "U" are great because the "U" keeps the thread in place in the ear - no need for a nut in the back. We do not recommend stringing beads onto these styles, as it could bend or otherwise damage the "U." To keep beads on thread permanently: Use sterling crimp bead #41-553 or GF crimp bead #41-653 above beads.
