Jewelry Tutorial Earrings Mother-of-Pearl Beads & wire wrapping

Video Tutorial

Fall for our new earrings made of mother-of-pearl beads decorated with wrapped brass thread.

This is your chance to try the wrapping technique, which involves dressing a bead with a brass thread; it's not very difficult to do and allows you to personalize your creations even more!

Find the video below to guide you through the assembly.

Beautiful creation!

For this project you will need:
2 gold-plated 24K fine gold stud earring bases mother-of-pearl bead drops flower pendants Gold plated with 24K fine gold 0.7mm flexible brass thread Gold plated with 24K fine gold

The tools to use:
pliers for jewelry making
This jewelry is not complicated to make. Follow the assembly video below and the assembly instructions.

The assembly:

To start, cut a brass thread about 15cm long.

At one end of the thread, form a simple loop with round-nose pliers. Try to make a small and discreet loop.

Next, thread the flower pendant onto the loop. Hold the loop with flat pliers and with another plier, wrap the thread around the edge of the loop for 2 turns. Cut the excess thread flush and flatten the thread with flat pliers to prevent any end from sticking out.

Thread the bead onto the thread and make a simple loop at the top of the bead.

Place the earring in the created loop then hold the loop with pliers.

With the other hand, wrap the thread in a spiral, first just below the loop then go down around the bead. To lock the thread, make 2 turns at the bottom of the bead.

Cut the excess flush and flatten the thread with pliers.

With this method, you can create a clean spiral or increase the number of turns around the bead!
