Jewelry-making is a great way to create unique pieces that reflect your personal style. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make wire-wrapped gemstone earrings in just a few simple steps. Perfect for beginners, these earrings are a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

Materials:

• 20-gauge silver wire
• 2 gemstone beads (6mm)
• Earring hooks

Tools:

• Round-nose pliers
• Wire cutters
• Bead reamer (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Cut the Wire
Cut about 10 cm of wire for each earring. Using the round-nose pliers, make a small loop at the end of the wire.

Step 2: Add the Bead
Thread the gemstone bead onto the wire and leave about 2 cm of space above the bead.

Hold the wire just above the bead with the pliers and wrap the excess wire around itself 3-4 times. Cut off any extra wire and smooth down the end.
