Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Cut a length of 24-gauge silver tarnish-resistant Artist Wire approximately seven inches long.

Add 15 3mm faceted rounds in Crystal to the wire. Then add a sterling silver small detailed bead cap, a 6mm faceted round in Crystal, and another bead cap. Add 15 more 3mm Crystal beads to the wire. Make a wrapped loop at each end of the beads.

Wrapped Loop Tutorial

Add the wrapped loop at one end to a sterling silver 4.30mm open jump ring. Add the wrapped loop on the other end to the same jump ring, forming a beaded loop. Manipulate the shape with your fingers if necessary, until it takes on the desired form.

Opening and Closing Jump Rings Video

Open the loop of a sterling silver ball end earwire and attach it to the jump ring at the top of your beaded hoop. Close the loop.
