Aquamarine Ocean Earrings Tutorial

Aquamarine Ocean Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Sondra Barrington

 

Designer Tips

  • Keep gold-filled and gold-plated findings separate, and mark your supplies well!
  • Use chain-nose pliers to turn the loop on ear wire 90-degrees so it faces side to side (not front to back). This is easier to do, before you assemble the rest of the earring components.
  • Wire-wrap the dangles directly on loop. New to jewelry-making? See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for step-by-step looping instructions.
