Beautiful earrings. Thanks, Heather, for showing us two versions of how they are made. The plain beading wire pair, will be my first attempt! I must admit, I had no clue what French wire was until I saw a video demo from you...That's probably next item on my "to try" list.
Thank you. I used .8mm silver plated Beadalon French wire. I had a viewer mention that French wire is fragile, but the earrings seem quite solid due to the 7-strand beading wire inside!

If you use beading wire you will need crimps. If you don't have crimps, just use regular wire in 20, 22 or 24g depending on what fits through your bead!
