Wire Wrapped Jewelry by Cheryl Coccaro

Beautiful handmade wire wrapped jewelry with gemstones, beads and dichroic glass. Handcrafted in the USA by GWC.

Ear Wire Making Crafty Tip
To create your own ear wires, use a ball point pen barrel, or a wooden dowel in the size your desire.

Cut 2 1/2" of21 gauge wire and make a small loop on one end. Then place wire over dowel and in one swift movement, bring wire over the dowel and down to the other side.

Decide how long you want the end to be and then make a sharp bend.

Use flush nose cutters to snip off the remaining wire.
