You have cleared space at the kitchen table. Two spools of copper, a bead mat, pliers laid out, a small jar of beads you chose two weeks ago. The afternoon is yours and you have been looking forward to it.

This book takes you from that moment to a finished pair of earrings, and well past it.

Wire wrap earring making asks for very little: no torch, no soldering equipment, no kiln, no dedicated workshop. The tools that cover every project in these pages fit in one hand. Earrings as a project format offer something other jewelry types often do not, which is a fast enough path from first cut to finished object that you can see what your hands are capable of in the first sitting. That short feedback loop is what makes this the right starting point.

From Coil Wraps to Cage-Set Gemstones

  • Master wire gauge and temper so the right specification for every technique is never a question
  • Form the simple loop and wrapped loop, the two movements every earring in this book is built from
  • Make shepherd's hook and French hook ear wires from scratch, hypoallergenic options included
  • Shape and finish classic copper hoops on a mandrel, matched as a pair from the very first project
  • Apply coil wraps and flat spirals to plain hoops for the textured layered look this craft does best
  • Complete three embellished hoop variations from coil-wrapped to mixed-element design
  • Wrap undrilled teardrop gemstone dangles using the two-wire cage wrap with no drill required
