In this two-part lesson, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy provides viewers with a step-by-step demonstration of wire wrapping techniques used to create a pair of beaded earrings. In part one, Prof. Ahr covers how to make headpins and connections between parts. In part two, he demonstrates how to make french earwigs.

Only a few tools are required to make earrings like these. All you need are round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, diagonal cutters, an emory board or file, and some 20 gauge round sterling silver wire. You might also want to buy some 20 gauge round copper wire to practice with before you start making earrings to sell or give to friends and family.
Another video you might want to check out is the OJA's video about wire loop consistency. That video will provide you with a simple way to ensure that all of your wire loops are the same size so that your earrings will be the same length.
