Tri Circle Earrings

Clean, measure and cut one 16-1/2 inch piece of 21-gauge square half hard wire.

Use a pin vise or an automatic wire twister to put a "slight" twist in the entire length of wire.

From each untwisted end, trim off 1/8 inch.

From the twisted wire length, measure and cut two of each of the following lengths: 3-3/8 inches, 2-3/4 inches, and 2 inches.

Separate one of each length into two piles, one pile for each earring.

At each end of each twisted wire, use round nose pliers to create an "eye"; so both eyes on the same piece are made on the same plane as shown.

Keeping the eyes flat, individually bend each twisted wire into a complete circle by using a ring mandrel at the sizes of: 1, 5 and 9 respectively with different lengths of wire.

The eyes on each completed circle should face one another.

Open the six 18-gauge 3mm ID jump rings.

Using your bead choice and headpins, make two single bead charms, each with a wrapped loop top.

Assemble the earrings: begin by slipping 1 headpin charm onto 1 open jump ring. Next, slide the jump ring through both eyes of the smallest twisted circle, so the charm is hanging inside the circle.

Firmly close the jump ring. Repeat process to begin the second earring.

Finally, slide the third jump ring through the second jump ring and the eyes of the largest twisted circle.

Firmly close this last jump ring and add an ear wire. Repeat for the second earring and enjoy!
