Proportion and Wrapped Loops
Here's a little tip that is often overlooked when we're making loops.
Instructions
Whenever possible, make the size of your loop proportionate to your bead.
You don't want the loop to be more prominent than the bead itself.
This pearl has some heft, but the loops should never draw attention away from it.

The same guideline applies when the loop will be strung on a chain.
The size and gauge of the loop should match the scale of the chain links.
If you're using a very fine chain, make your wrapped loop petite.
