Ruffled Gemstone Hoops earrings tutorial - DIY step by step wire wrapped jewelry instruction - My second tutorial!

My second tutorial is finally finished! It is now for sale in both of my Arctida shop!

With this tutorial you will learn how to make a pair of beautiful ruffled hoop earrings using wire and various gems and beads. The design can be adapted to include different size of ruffles, a mix of wire colors, beads and gemstones, making each one unique, yet if you need to make the same design over again, it can easily be done. In addition to earrings, you can use this technique to make bangles, pendants or brooches!

Here are a couple of variations of this design that I have already blogged about:

Electra - Labradorite and oxidized sterling silver hoops

Lenae - Peridot and copper hoops earrings

Nivi - Sterling Silver Hoops Earrings

The concept of a many-branched tree symbolizes that all life on Earth is related and has been used in science, religion, philosophy, mythology and other areas. It could represent a mystical concept of the oneness in all things, a metaphor for common descent in the evolutionary sense, and a motif in various world theologies, mythologies and philosophies.

This is the first tutorial in my series of up and coming tutorials for the wire jewelry artists. With this tutorial you will learn how to make my version of classical Tree of Life pendant using wire and various gems and beads. No soldering required! Although it is described as an intermediate project, the tutorial contains so much detail that any level of enthusiast is able to make the piece.
