Pearl Wire Wrapped Post Earrings



A few weeks ago I wrote a tutorial on how to make wire wrapped pearl post earrings.  This type of design is also sometimes referred to as "caged bead" earrings.  This week I made several more of these pretty baubles to list in my Etsy shop.

In case you missed the tutorial, you can check it out here. For these earrings, I used different colors of Swarovski crystal 8mm pearls and 20 gauge wire.  I used several different kinds of wire - sterling silver, silver filled, 14K gold filled, rose gold filled, bronze and gunmetal.

These earrings are such fun to make!  As you can see I got carried away and made them in every color of pearl I had on hand.  My next project might be to make these with different color of crystals, so check back soon!  In the mean time, you can find these beauties at DJAjewels.etsy.com.
