Wire Earring Beading Ideas, Page 3
Planetary System Earrings
I wire wrapped these hand-formed, hammered and polished hoops with very thin and soft 28g copper wire and gemstones (carnelian and labradorite) in a random order with other pieces and spirals added. They look a bit extra-terrestrial, hanging from big hand made loop ear wires that are wire wrapped with additional labradorite “stars”. I use […]
Carnelian Earrings
Carnelian is a beautiful stone! It goes perfectly with copper. Beneath a copper metal connector I hung a gold glass cube, a copper cube, a faceted fire polished amber colored bead and a polished oval carnelian. The colors complement each other beautifully. The beads are strong on decorative headpins and the earrings hang from sterling […]
Halo Peridot Earrings
For a different take on birthstone earrings (August), I decided to make big hoop earrings that are nevertheless surprisingly light to wear. They remind me of a halo which decided me on their name. The hoop is formed out of solid thicker copper wire. It has been hammered flat a bit so that the wire […]
Amethyst Loop Earrings
These were made with Czech druk 4mm amethyst glass beads, silver plated earwires and 22 gauge silver plated brass beading wire.
Make Love Not War Earrings
Yes, I know… the 60’s are over. But some might say that the era represented not just a time but a mindset… and couldn’t we use a little 60’s mindset right now? I know *I* could. I bought these little stamped brass flower charms awhile ago and the first incarnation featured small blackstone rondelles. This […]
Czech Iris Brown Dangle Earrings
These earrings were designed by myself for my mother-in-law. I used silver plated earwires, silver plated 20 gauge wire, silver plated 3mm balls and Czech Fire Polished Iris Brown 6mm faceted glass beads.
Chrysoprase And Fuchsia Jade Earrings
I wanted to use golden ear wires, but chunky ones rather than the traditional thin gold ones, so I decided to use solid brass. I took thick brass wire and hand formed it into the ear wires, hammered them first flat and then with a specialist hammer to create the texture. I then added small […]
Opalite Skies Earrings
These earrings are made using Opalite briolettes, Hill tribe silver, and Swarovski bicones in Montana AB. Earwires are sterling silver. Wire is 22 gauge half-hard sterling silver wire. Earrings are 1 7/8″ in length.
Wire Wrapped Crystal Drop Earrings
These are really pretty dangly earrings that are made from Swarovski crystals, Bohemian Czech glass crystals and blue pearl beads. Each bead is individually wrapped with wire to make the fittings to hold it all together. They have great movement, and are very sparkly. I decided to do something a little different with earrings and […]
Queen Of Hearts Valentine Earrings
These earrings are made from wire wrapped rosy colored glass suspended from delicate silver chain. The glass briolettes have facets that catch the light and sparkle. They are finished with simple silver ear wires and measure about 2.75″ long.
Blue Quartz Earrings
These 10x14mm oval blue quartz beads are faceted to give them some sparkle. Hung from the sterling silver French earwires with a copper headpin and a faceted glass bead gives it a little extra detail. They measure almost 1 3/4″ from top to bottom.
Blossom Earrings
I made these earrings with pretty powder blue chrysanthemum blossoms which I set on diamond shaped antique brass filigree. I added pale pink Swarovski crystals and a smaller crystal in a rose colour as a dangle below the flower. I attached them with an antique brass headpin. The earrings are set on long antique brass […]
Wire-Wrapped Iolite Earrings
I like the mechanical function of these earrings. Wire wrapping each bead separately gives it a fun swing. What you will need: 2 – 10mm faceted iolite roundels 2 – 12mm Celtic style sterling beads 4 – 1 1/2″ pieces of 22 gauge round half hard sterling wire. 1 – Sterling 4mm ball post and […]
Amazonite Earrings
These amazonite stones are really unique and beautiful. They have a great octagon shape, measure 14x20mm and are attached to the earrings with headpins. They are hanging from sterling silver French earwires with three small white glass beads and two green seed beads to complement the pretty green color of the amazonite. These earrings measure […]

Forest Rain Labradorite Chandelier Earrings
This labradorite and faceted peridot chandelier earrings was inpsired by my love for the tropical foliage of my childhood city where I grew up in Vietnam. The mystical hues of the labradorites are enhanced by the rich golden 14K gold-filled beads and findings. The kidney earwires are 18K gold. The center beads are faceted Peridot […]
Orange, Red and Blue Polka Dot Lampwork Earrings
These earrings feature colorful orange, red and blue polka dot lampwork beads. I accented them with solid blue lampwork beads, red coral beads, sterling silver spacer beads and small round sterling silver beads. They measure approximately 2 inches from the top of the sterling silver earwire.
Smoke And Sparkle Earrings
I bought these lovely smoky-sparkly golden crystals awhile ago and was at a loss as to what to do with them. Finally deciding not to overthink it, I added oxidized sterling silver findings and oxidized, stylized, sterling silver handcrafted earwires to them and I loved the way they turned out. Sometimes simple is best!
Coral Simplicity Earrings
These simple and delicate earrings are made using black coral and flower charms in Hill tribe silver. Earwires are sterling silver. Earrings are 1 1/4″ in length
Mixed Stone Earrings
These earrings were made using a mix of stones: turquoise, jasper and sodalite. I connected them using 18 gauge silver wire. I left a large loop on the end to add 3 hammered pieces of 18 gauge silver wire. I put a small loop at the end of each of the hammered wire pieces to […]
