Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual 2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.

Crimp covers on closed Hoop Earrings

I purchased the Sterling Silver 20mm hoops a while ago but did nothing with them because I wanted to use silver spacer beads in the design. When I purchased the silver plated 3mm and 4mm crimp covers I realized I could use the crimp covers to add the visual look of silver spacer beads on the soldered closed Sterling Silver hoops.

Material list per earring:

Silver plated leverback earring

Sterling Silver 1.5mm long box chain, 2 links for each earring

Sterling Silver 3mm open jumprings attach box chain to earwire and hoop

Soldered closed Sterling Silver hoop is 18mm round, 19 gauge, can easily be bend if handled roughly.

There is a 3mm SP crimp cover for silver accent at the top of the short dangle and a 4mm SP crimp cover for silver accent at the top of the longer dangle
