Week 7 of the Earring Challenge

This week I wanted to add a little wire wrapping to my idea and I had hoops on the brain. So I worked out a design incorporating three hoops into one creating a frame to wrap wire around. I liked the frame all by its self and was temped just to stop there, but curiosity and the desire to see my original plan through kept me tinkering. I am very happy with the end results.

This week’s earrings are sterling silver hoops with sterling ear posts and backs. I used a simple basket weave of silver plated copper wire and threaded small freshwater pearls around the earrings.
