Freshwater pearl earrings:

Fanciful lampwork earrings:

Working with jewelry wires are fun & challenging. You can work with eye-pins or directly with jewelry wires. I love working with Artistic wire because this type of wire does not tarnish & rust. They are inexpensive & do not cause allergy to my skin.

Earrings are easy tasks for beginners as they are easy to complete. Below are some projects that are considered do-able. Try them using headpins, eyepins, round nose pliers, earring components, spacers, lampwork glass bead, gemstones & whatever beads you find fantastic.

1) Insert the following into a piece of headpin:

• small daisy spacer (about 4~5mm)

• lampwork glass bead

• small daisy spacer (about 4~5mm)

• ball spacer (about 2 ~ 2.5mm)

• make a loop with a pair of round nose pliers & connect to the ear wire.
