The history of wearing earrings is more than seven thousand years old andIt begins in Asia. Earrings of ancient people performed not only a decorative function, they showed the social level and standard of living of their owner. Initially, only men wore them, but over time, earrings appeared in jewelry boxes of women. Ancient Egyptians, Indians and Assyrians demonstrated their wealth and privileged status with earrings made of precious metals and stones, in Ancient Rome, earrings were worn by slaves. Over time, with outbreaks of religiosity and fashion for long wigs hiding earrings, the popularity of these ornaments either soared or decreased to almost zero. However, some strata of the population or people of certain professions invariably pierced their ears. Pirates put on an earring in honor of the capture of a ship, thieves, in honor of belonging to a criminal community, Cossacks and gypsies marked the only sons in a family or clan with earrings. In the middle of the 18th century, soldiers in the Russian Empire wore earrings given to them by women, it was believed that such a talisman would protect them from misfortune. And if men's earrings have long looked like modest little rings or studs made of precious metals, then the variations of women's earrings cannot be fully grasped at first glance. Expensive and pretentious earrings made of precious stones set in gold, platinum or silver, delicate earrings with pearls, expensive jewelry with Swarovski crystals, unusual and original products made of polymer clay. There are an incredible number of options, models and materials for creating earrings in the world. Modern fashion trends dictate a move away from expensive jewelry earrings and give preference to high-quality jewelry. One of the most popular and beautiful materials for creating earrings is beads. The history of their appearance is as ancient as the history of earrings. Now there are beads of various shades and colors, they are made of glass, plastic, cold porcelain and many other materials. Any of these options will allow you to create an original and distinctive piece of jewelry with your own hands. In order to become the owner of a pair of beautiful and exclusive earrings, it is enough to stock up on beads, ear wires (hooks for earrings that are inserted into the ears), strong fishing line or silk thread, a special needle for working with beads (it should be very thin) and, of course, patience. This article will offer several master classes on weaving earrings from beads. Based on the advice and recommendations of our Club, you can create jewelry for yourself that will emphasize your eyes and match the style you have chosen. The first earrings are woven using Twin beads (also called superduo because it has 2 holes drilled in it).You will need:

Beads twins of several shades;
Beads 11/0 bronze color;
Shvenzy;
A needle and a needle for beads.

The first stage is creating a round base.Measure 190 cm of fishing line, string on it alternating 1 regular bead and 1 twin bead. Tie a knot for 5 pieces to secure, and then thread one end of the fishing line through all the beads again. This way they will be securely fastened.To start weaving the second circle of earringsyou need to thread the fishing line through the second hole of the twin bead. Then put two twin beads on the fishing line and again thread the fishing line through the second hole of the next twin bead of the first circle. Perform this sequence until the end of the circle, once again pass the fishing line through all the beads to secure it. To start the next circle, you need to thread the fishing line through the upper hole of the twin bead so that it ends up between two paired beads.The next circle starts with one twin bead.(instead of it you can take a bead in the form of rice). It is located between a pair of twin beads, the fishing line is threaded into the next twin bead of the previous circle, three regular beads are strung on the fishing line, then the fishing line is threaded into the next twin bead, again there is a grain of rice (or a twin bead) between two paired beads and further around the circle.To weave the last circle you need topass the fishing line through the first regular bead. String three regular beads on the fishing line and pass the fishing line through the last of the three beads of the previous circle, a twin bead, a rice bead, a twin bead again and the first regular bead of the next three. Go through the entire row in this way. pass the fishing line once more around the circle to secure it, add a ring for the earwire. All that remains is to make the second earring and attach the remaining parts of the earwire. The same pattern can be used to weave a pendant and you will get a real set.The next earrings are also very simple, you can make them from icy blue beads and you will get great snowflakes.You will need:

Beads superdoo (twin);
Beads 11/0;
Shvenzy;
A needle and a needle for beads.

String 6 twin beads onto the fishing line and pull throughthe fishing line again through the lower hole of the first bead. Pass the fishing line through the second hole of the twin bead, string three regular beads and pass the fishing line through the second hole of the twin bead again. Finish the circle in this way. The fishing line should come out of the middle of the three regular beads. The next circle will be the final one. String 2 regular beads, then 1 twin bead, three more regular beads and pass the fishing line through the second hole in the twin bead, string 2 regular beads again and pass the fishing line through the middle of the three regular bead of the previous circle. Continue weaving in this way.All that remains is to secure the ear wires and the snowflake earrings are ready. The next earrings are made in the form of a clover trefoil, which will undoubtedly bring good luck to their owner.You will need:

Beads of green color;
Wire;
Shvenzy;
6 rings of small diameter of golden color.

First you need to secure the wire toring so that it does not move. String one green bead on the wire and make a turn of the wire around the ring. It is very important that the wire is pulled tightly around the ring and moved as close to the previous turn as possible. String one green bead again. Thus fill the entire ring with beads. Make three blanks for each earring and connect them as shown in the photo.For the stalk of the future trefoil, string it ona piece of wire green beads. The number of beads directly depends on the size of the rings. Move the entire string to the center, cross the ends of the wire in the collected beads and give the string the shape of a stalk.Attach the stem to the three-ring blank. Hide the wire ends inside the product.The ear wires and earrings are ready to be attached.The following earrings are made in ethnic style. Such jewelry looks original and distinctive, and correctly selected shades will emphasize the color of the eyes, such earrings will become an excellent highlight of the whole image.You will need:

Weaving will be done using parallel technique.Since several different colors of beads are used, before work it is worth drawing the desired pattern or using a ready-made scheme. Of course, in the first case you will have absolute confidence that the earrings are unique and there are no others like them. Cut a piece of fishing line 90 cm long. String one bead and place it in the center. Then string 2 beads and cross the fishing line in them. Then string 3 beads, 4, etc. each time crossing the fishing line in all beads, add 1 piece at a time until there are 11 of them. Don't forget to change shades and color transitions.Weave from 11 beads to the length you like, then make decreases by 1 bead in each row in the same way as increases were made. As a result, 1 bead remains on the fishing line. Secure the earwire with the remaining tails of the fishing line and make a pair for it.For such earrings you can take a weaving patternbracelets in parallel technique, and then you will be the owner of a whole elegant set of stylish and original jewelry. The beauty of beaded earrings is that they are quite easy to weave, materials and fittings are widely available, and ordinary round beads go well with both twin beads and biocones.The following earrings are made using biocones. You will need:

String 1 gold, 1 blue, 1 gold bead and thread the fishing line into the next biocone. String until the end of the row. As a result, you get a small square with blue beads in the corners. The fishing line goes through the blue bead. Tighten. String 1 gold bead, 1 biocone, 1 gold bead, another 1 biocone and 1 gold bead onto the fishing line, thread the fishing line through the next blue bead. Do this until the end of the row.

Again string 1 gold, 1 blue, 1 gold bead and so on until the end of the circle. At the end, pass the fishing line through the blue bead. String 5 gold beads onto the fishing line, alternating them with biocones (4 biocones), thread the fishing line through the same blue bead from the other side. Tighten.Pass the fishing line through the beads so that it comes out of the nearest biocone, string 1 gold, 1 blue, 1 gold bead and pass the fishing line into the next biocone.String 1 gold bead, 1 blue bead, earwire, 1 blue bead, 1 gold bead onto the fishing line and thread the fishing line into the next biocone.String 1 gold, 1 blue, 1 onto the fishing line.gold bead and thread the fishing line through the next biocone and the next gold bead.

Thread the fishing line through the second hole of the twin bead, string 2 white beads and thread it again through the second hole of the next twin bead and so on until the end of the circle.String one twin bead onto the fishing line, pass the fishing line through two white beads, put one twin bead onto the fishing line again and pass the fishing line through two white beads again, and so on until the end of the row.Thread the fishing line through the hole of the twin bead,string 1 white bead, thread the line through the second hole of the twin bead, thread the line through the second hole of the next twin bead, string 1 white bead again, thread the line through the next 2 twin beads, string 1 white bead again, etc. do not tighten the line.
