Silver Circle Earrings

  • Technique(s): Forging, Hole Punching
  • Skill Level: Beginner
Simple, striking hammered hoops make a serious style statement. No need for soldering, the circles connect with a jump ring. Make these larger or smaller, add beads, wire wraps, or chains. Aluminum wire makes these light and easy to wear, but these would be equally as delightful in brass, copper, or sterling wire.
