Wirework Earring Beading Ideas, Page 2

Sun Inspired Necklace Set

I love working with wire, so in this piece I focused mainly on giving wire a different and modern shape. To make the pendants, I used gold tone wire and combined it with a 12 mm black glass bead. I strung one on an 18 inch gold plated ball chain for the necklace, and attached […]

Freeform Wire Earrings

I love the physicality of working with wire; bending, coiling, twisting, making it do what I want it to do, and I made these earrings using 24 gauge Artistic Wire (permanently colored copper wire) in aqua and lemon hand coiled on a narrow mandrel. I made the headpin by making three tiny coils on one […]

I Love You Red Coral Drop Earrings

My “I love you” earrings are inspired by love. A great pair of earrings made of natural coral quartz briolettes, wire wrapped in sterling silver. To make these, first gather two gemstone beads, some sterling silver 20 gauge dead soft wire, and two ear wires. Next, make a loop in the wire and start wrapping […]

Black and Red Chandelier Earrings

This earring is a nice combination of wire, beads and chain. I used black color wire and attached a black chain to it, then I started working with beads using 4 mm black jet Swarovski crystals and 6 mm Czech red glass beads. These earrings are very suitable to wear with an evening gown.

Tourmalinated Quartz Earrings

Simple wire-wrapped earrings with gunmetal-black wire and ear wires. The beads are tourmalinated quartz with just a hint of purple amethyst.

Honey Jade Earrings

Hanging on sterling silver ear hooks are large, faceted, pale yellow, honey jade rectangular stones measuring 11x17mm. The stones are strung on headpins which are attached to silver colored chain. The whole earring dangles about 2 1/2″ from top to bottom. They are simple but still elegant!

Moonstone And Oxidized Copper Earrings

These beads are incredible – them seem to glow! The oxidized copper really brings out the glowing blue white color on the moonstones. These remind me of a full moon glowing in the night sky. They hang about 1 3/4″ below the handmade ear wires on an oxidized copper chain strung with handmade oxidized copper […]

Purple Teardrop Earrings

The focal beads are 6 x 9mm teardrop Czech crystal beads in purple, and I used Swarovski 3mm bicone crystal beads in shades of purple and white as complements.

Lampwork Beaded Earrings

These earrings have blue raised floral lampwork glass beads along with Capri Swarovski Crystals, brown Cats Eye Fiber Optic Glass Beads, sterling silver beads and caps. Sterling Silver Hooks – Length 2 1/2″

Blue Shell Earrings

These earrings are made of blue shell disc beads with a cluster of dangles attached on the end of silver chain. Each dangle consists of two faceted crystal beads on either side of a larger sparkly blue disco ball bead, thread onto a head pin. The dangles are attached to different parts of the chain […]

Joyeux Noel Christmas Tree Beaded Earrings

I started this earring by placing a Swarovski 4 mm Siam cube crystal on a head pin. I then placed a 6 mm Swarovski Margarita bead, then 8 mm crystal, then 10 mm crystal, and finished it with a 6mm brown bicone bead to complete the Christmas tree shape. I attached the head pin to […]

Copper And Turquoise Earrings

I really enjoy working with wire because it is so versatile. I was actually playing around with different shapes when I stumbled upon this design. I used 20ga copper wire and 6mm cracked turquoise beads, with copper jump rings and copper earwires. To make sure that they were the same size I used a ring […]

Silver Disc Ceramic Earrings

I created these earrings using beads which I have only recently discovered through a friend – metalized ceramic. The discs are actually sterling silver plated ceramic, so they are lightweight and relatively cheaper than solid sterling silver beads. I combined the shiny silver with a simple black glass bead as this is always a classic […]

Dancing Raindrops Earrings

I wanted to make a pair of earrings that colorful and flirty. I used the Venetian square beads as the guide and created my design from there. The earrings were made using Gold-filled chains and genuine faceted teardrop peridot and citrine gemstones. The earhooks and heart designs are 14K gold.

Aqua Recycled Glass Bead Earrings

These beads are handmade in Ghana from recycled glass fired in a sand kiln. They sparkle like crazy. I hung them trapeze style from oxidized copper chain and ear wires.

Fruit Punch Earrings

These earrings are made up of bright orange carnelian rondelles, wire wrapped to a thin chain, with chunky, faceted lemon yellow chalcedony briolettes wrapped at the bottom. All the metal used in these earrings is gold filled and they hang about one and a half inches long from the bottom of the earwires.

Crystal Shiva Earrings

These enchanting earrings are made of crystal beads and twisted wire in shades of blue, green and purple. Materials Used: 8 9mm Austrian crystal drops in 2 colors 8 3mm round Austrian crystals 24 4mm Austrian crystal bicones in 2 colors 1 pair of sterling silver earwires (no coil or ball)

Peacock Stone Swirl Earrings

Using a thing-a-ma-jig I formed the earwires out of 18 gauge copper wire and filed the ends to make them smooth. I used the same 18 gauge wire through the 18mm square peacock stone to make the circle on the top and the swirl on the bottom. I bent the circle over the stone after […]

Green Copper Wire-Wrapped Earrings

These look fancy but are pretty simple to make for beginning beaders. You start with two metal beading hoops. Next, take thin 24 or 26 gauge copper wire-wrapping wire and loop it around the hoop tightly 10 times. Next, add a bead to the wire, and pull the wire snug back to the hoop, making […]

Amazonite Sterling Cone Earrings

These are just the coolest…serene and sensational in a velvety bluish green. The rounds of 10mm amazonite are capped with Bali sterling silver cones. Total length is 2″.
