Lampwork by Adriana Sauceda Design by Susan Ray

To feature the fine quality of this handmade lampwork in a simple, fun fashion, we highlighted the beads by creating earring drops. Allowing the beads to stand alone added visual focus.

Supplies Needed

• 20 gauge silver wire, 16"

• 2 sterling silver head pins, 3" length each

• 4 sterling silver beads, 4mm

• 6 black onyx beads, 6mm

• 8 black onyx beads ,2mm

TIP: String beads onto the head pins and create rosary turns. Cut away excess wire.Cut the sterling silver wire into two pieces – 8" in length each.Make a simple rosary turn at one end of each sterling silver wire attaching the pre-strung head pin loop as you go. String the lampwork and onyx beads onto the sterling wire.Complete by stringing the silver bead at top. Turn the wire over your thumb and forefinger to create the fishhook earring. Use a readymade earring as the form.Bend wire back and cut away any excess wire. Ola!
