The new stainless steel hoops have welded rings for easy attachment of small beads. In addition, they are very resistant to warping, a problem that used to occur when attaching beads to brass hoop earrings. Stainless steel jewelry primers are ideal for summer, as stainless steel is resistant to oxidation from water and perspiration. The only wear and tear will be the fading of the gold to dark silver. These creoles exist in 30 mm and 40 mm diameter, in gold and silver.
The beads used in this tutorial are small Tourmaline beads and Miyuki spacers with duracoat finish. Duracoat is an industrial varnish applied to the beads by the manufacturer. It guarantees a very good holding of colors and gold. Tourmaline is a stone with many colors. This is good timing, because the mixture of gemstones with different colors and shapes are very trendy this year. In addition, they will suit a variety of clothing styles.

Cut 19 cm of Gold Filled wire. Wrap it around the creole making 5 tight turns.
String beads by mixing 2mm rounds, abacuses and spacers until you have enough beads to reach the ring. Then thread the wire through the ring, being careful not to distort it too much.
Repeat step 2 to get to the next ring. Thread the wire through it and then put on the charm.
Pass the thread back through the ring to secure the charm to the creole. Tighten well.
Fill in the remaining spaces with beads. Finish by wrapping the thread around the end of the creole for 5 turns. Trim excess yarn.
Wrap the remaining Gold filled wire around the beads and creole to bring them together where it's a little too bulging. Make two turns. You can use two pliers to make the turns tight. Cut more small pieces of Gold filled wire about an inch or two to bring these two items together. We put some between each ring of the creole.
