Got these super cool extra long golden kidney earwires about a year ago, but didn’t know what to do with them. Finally I found the perfect match…with two golden elephants! The best part is that it took less than a minute to make these earrings with the kidney earwires.

Kidney ear wires are very light to wear and so comfy! Since the golden elephants were already decorated with sparkling rhinestones, I didn’t need to make any other additions to the earwires. Big kidney ear wires are lots of fun because they are quite visible but never “too much”.

How to make Kidney Earwires…

On kidney earwires you can attach any special beads or charms you have. Ear wires don’t mind crazy colors or shapes, they love it even! :) Both gold and silver big hooks are stunning. Lift your design by chosing beads with vivid colors or patterns. Suggestions on beads for kidney earwires can be:

… with Charms & Connectors?

  1. Chose your Charm.
  2. Open the kidney earwire, add a jump ring and attach the charm to the earwire.
  3. Repeat step 1-3 for the other earwire. Simple as that! ;)

…with Beads?

If you use a bead of some kind, polymer clay, metal, glass or filigree.

  1. String the bead onto a head pin of the correct length according to the bead.
  2. Form a new loop and cut of the access wire.
  3. Now attach it to the earwire. If a jump ring is needed, add that in between the head pin and the ear wire.
  4. Repeat step 1-3 for the other earwire.

Here is an example on silver earwires I’ve made and then attached a polymer clay bead, read the original post here.
