How to Make Rainbow Earrings with SilverSilk
When life has you feeling blue, add some more color until you get a rainbow! In this tutorial, I stack together SilverSilk chains and use 20- and 26-gauge wire to hold, coil and embellish my rainbow. Try it with different colors of Capture Chain or maybe you have scraps to play with! Either way, this project is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Design your own stunning jewelry with this revolutionary knitted wire jewelry chain! Solid Gold Capture Chain is made by machine-knitting 32-gauge, permanently enameled gold wire over a 2.4mm gold-plated ball chain. The result is a stunning 3mm knitted wire chain that is an absolute joy to create jewelry with.
This chain is durable, free-flowing and can be cut to any length without fraying. Pair the chain with our Single-, Double-, or Triple-strand End Caps for a flawless finish on your design. Simply place the chain inside the end cap channel and use wide nose pliers, with a protective coating to prevent scratches or marring, to crimp the end cap. You'll find everything you need for professionally crimping the ends in the Custom Findings section.
SilverSilk earring wires are ideal for creating your own custom earring design with a professional finish. Each wire is 21 gauge (about .76mm thick), thin enough to keep your ear piercing comfortable while still holding its shape beautifully. They feature our five layer metal plating and a tapered leaf shape that curves from the earring stem to a delicate point, with a soldered loop on the back for attaching your favorite jump rings, charms, or beads. Each earring wire measures 22mm tall with a 3mm loop and 1.5mm inner diameter. Earring backs are included. Sold as a pair, two earring wires per package.
