Have you ever had too much of a jewelry supply you didn’t really care for?<\/strong> This project began because I found myself with a supply of far more copper split rings that I would ever want or need to use.<\/p>\n

\"iris<\/a><\/p>\n

The idea for using the split rings as spacers<\/strong> between beads started with seeing other designs that used wire coils as spacers in between beads. I really like the way the split rings slip and twist against each other, creating random movement.<\/p>\n

If you are one of my $5 or above monthly Patreon supporters<\/strong> be sure to watch this video where I share a tutorial for these crystal point earrings<\/a>. (If you are a patron, you can find the password here: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/august-bonus-for-14044212<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The crystal point earrings are similar<\/strong>, but actually use spacer beads in between the dangles.<\/p>\n

I love how the wire wrapping around the crystal shards<\/strong> has a kind of steampunk, industrial, sci-fi look. Or something like that… What would you call it?<\/p>\n

Whatever you call it, I’m was really pleased with the final effect<\/strong> of this wrapping that leaves the interestingly jagged top edges of the beads exposed.<\/p>\n
