METAL, WIRE, & MORE
FREE PROJECT
Break the pattern easy chain earrings
Intersperse plain jump rings with a forged link to create a high-contrast spin on chain mail. These earrings spotlight the dramatic combination of 14k yellow gold-filled and oxidized sterling silver wire. You’ll master the simple one-in-one linkage quickly — then, feel free to improvise!

Free project: Bird’s nest wire and pearl pendant
We’ve seen these little wire nests in jewelry designs everywhere, but didn’t quite understand how they were made. So when we built ours, we cut an extra-long piece of wire and tried to think like a mother bird: Form a wire frame and weave the wire around and between itself to reinforce the structure. You can’t really make mistakes.
