Inverted Spiral Earrings:
This weave is a great spiral. It does not need an anchor to keep it from untwisting! 
2- silver ear wires
104- 20 gauge, 4mm colored copper jump rings (52 silver, 52 black)
2- 20 gauge, 6mm silver jump rings
2- 6mm glass beads
Instructions:
Here are the instructions for the weave: http://www.mailleartisans.org/articles/articledisplay.cgi?key=151951
The beads were just slipped onto a ring before closing it.
Experience Level: Intermediate
Approximate Time: 2 hours
I have been working on this weave for at least a week now. I just couldn't get it to work out right. I really wanted the design to be all one color, but I could not figure out which rings to attach where! I really had to make it two colors like in the tutorial. Unfortunately, the local craft stores only had the right sized colored rings in small quantities. In order to get enough of one color I'd have to spend about $20.00. Then I found a bag of black rings that had enough in it. I wasn't too thrilled about using black, but I loved the way they turned out! I tried several loop beads as dangles before I settled on these. (I know...I used them in another design a few days ago. But that one didn't turn out so good and I never finished the earrings. I'm thinking of changing the bead in that pair to a cute little mauve and gold one.)
