Wire Spiral Hoop Earrings
"These beautiful nautilus inspired wire spiral hoop earrings are super easy and very trendy. The lightweight wire makes these beauties easy on the ears for sure. They are also light on supplies making them very budget friendly. To wear these earrings, simply slip through your lobes as far around as you like. I do recommend using Nylon stoppers on the end after the hoop is in your ear, especially if your lobes are a bit stretched out like mine. So lets get to it! Gather your supplies and tools and meet me back here!"
NotesI polished mine to a high shine using MAAS metal polish and a cotton buffing wheel on my Dremel. I sealed them with shellac to they wouldn’t turn on me.
These earrings are easy to embellish as well. You can give them a flattening with a hammer and then dap a bit with a ball peen hammer to give a forged look, or you can wire wrap crystals to the spiral for a bit of bling.
