How to Make Statement Hoop Earrings

I’ve already shown you how to make hoop earrings using some pre-made findings, so now it’s time to show you how to make some dangly hoop earrings that really make an impact! Using some memory wire and some chain you’ll be able to create your very own stunning statement hoop earrings.

You will need the following tools and materials to make these earrings:

1: Pliers. To make these earrings you will need to use some round nose pliers, flat nose pliers and cutting pliers.

2: Memory wire.

3: Four Jump Rings.

4: Two short pieces of chain to connect the hoops to the earring findings.

5: Two earring hooks.

6: Beads of your choice. For this design I used some green dyed quartz and some dark glass seed beads.

The Steps:

1: Cut two pieces of memory wire using the cutting pliers so that the ends touch with no overlap.

2: Use the round nose pliers to create a loop at one end of the wire. Repeat for both pieces.

3: Once each loop has been formed, begin adding beads in your desired pattern.

4: Once beading has been completed, create a loop at the other end of the wire to secure the beads in place. Repeat this step for both pieces.

5: Attach a piece of chain to both sides of the hoop using the jump rings.

6: Find the center of the chain and attached an earring hook to complete each earring. Secure the earring hook in place by closing it with some pliers.
