Small Green Garnet faceted beads wrapped around handmade gold-filled wire. These fun and happy earrings make you feel in a summery mood! To shape the hoops, I wrapped 20 ga. gold-filled wire around a canister. Hoops measure about 1 1/2 inches. With 26 ga. gold-filled wire, wrap around the hoop about 8 times, and start adding beads. At the end, add the gold chain and close at the other side by wrapping about 3 times.
