DIY Iris-Inspired Statement Earrings with Jem Hawkes

Today we're taking inspiration from the Iris collection by Jese James Beads inspired by Iris Apfel. We will be using some of our Acrylic Links paired with our Turquoise bead strand. You can mix and match your creation using different beads and chains from the Iris Collection.

We will also be using some 18 gauge round wire in a medium-temper wire to create our wire-wrapped accents for our earrings. You will also need some wire cutters, bail-making pliers, and chain-nose pliers. You can use Round-nose pliers if you do not have bail-making pliers. Jem recommends marking your pliers where your loop size is for easy recreation.
