These earrings are called Sword Jewelry Wire and Beads Earrings because the basic shape of the finding that forms the outline of these earrings is similar to the shape of a Roman Gladius style sword.  Since many vendors are making findings that you can purchase similar to these earrings, we thought it was time for us to make our design for this finding.  This is a beginner's jewelry making project, and you can easily find all the jewelry supplies and tools you need at WigJig!
