Beads + Chain = 3 Simple Earring Designs (Beginner Friendly!)

In this beginner-friendly wire jewelry tutorial, I’ll show you how to make three handmade chain earring designs using sterling silver, beads, and delicate jewelry chain. These simple chain earrings are easy to create at home and perfect for anyone who loves long earrings with chain or wants to learn how to make chain earrings at home. You’ll learn how to shape silver wire, attach beads, and add beautiful chain movement — from double chain earring designs to beaded chain drops inspired by today’s trending chain earrings. Plus, I’ll demonstrate the Beadsmith Metal Hole Punch, a must-have tool for creating clean holes in metal jewelry pieces. It’s an easy, mess-free alternative to drilling, perfect for DIY jewelry makers who love a polished finish. In the third design, we'll work through it in real time. I show you all my decision making and changes in it's creation so you can make adjustments to your own designs. Whether you prefer silver earrings with chain, gold chain styles, or a mix of both, you can adapt these designs for your own aesthetic. Each pair is lightweight, modern, and wearable art you’ll actually want to show off! 🧰 Tools & Supplies 3" (x2) 16g wire for all 3 designs 22/24g for attaching beads 20g for ear ear wires Beads of Your Choice BeadSmith Metal Hole Punch https://a.co/d/b6g0TsG Tweezer nose pliers https://amzn.to/40ejGWw Flush cutters https://amzn.to/3NyDj4n Nylon pliers https://amzn.to/3NxZQ1b Bail pliers https://amzn.to/4dZk9iO Flat nose pliers https://a.co/d/4A0B3U5 Radial sanding disc https://amzn.to/48gsKMO Tumbler https://amzn.to/4eZ0L6Y High-grade Steel shot https://amzn.to/4hh9dzl Protectaclear https://www.everbritecoatings.com/?af...
