Using Chain on Earrings

Pink circles

One day I went out on a whim and bought Sterling chain of simple loops.

I didn't have enough to complete a full bracelet so I just cut the length and put them on earhooks.

Then I thought - hmmm, that's too boring for me and lacks sparkle which I love!

All I did was add a 6mm Swarovski crystal on the top of each circle and don't skip the last one!

They wind up sitting right in the middle of the hoop - VOILA!

Easy and super-fashionable.

Now to get these suckers to sell....(Don't worry I'm reading Rena's book to find out how!!)

Thank you for sharing this very cool design idea, Janine! Your earrings turned out beautifully.

What a great idea for using up small amounts of leftover chain, too - I always seem to have lots of miscellaneous chain bits that are too short for other purposes, but would be ideal for this project!

I don't have any extra chain lying about but I often think it would be fun to play with the stuff. I love your design!

This is an idea I stumbled on myself not too long ago. It's a great way to use that little bit of extra chain left over from another project. Plus, chain earrings seem to be pretty popular lately. Yours are beautiful, Janine. So delicate looking but with lots of pizzazz!
