Crochet Wire Medallion Earrings

Add a little sparkle to your handmade jewelry collection with these crochet wire medallion earrings! Made with fine jewelry wire and colorful seed beads, these delicate circular earrings combine simple crochet stitches with a beautiful beaded design.

Crocheting with wire is a fun way to create unique jewelry that holds its shape. The beads are worked directly into the crochet stitches, adding texture and a decorative touch to each medallion.

These beaded crochet earrings are a great project for experimenting with different wire and bead combinations, whether you’re making a pair for yourself or creating a thoughtful handmade gift.

About These Beaded Crochet Wire Earrings

I’ve been having so much fun experimenting with crochet wire jewelry! After making my Crochet Wire Teardrop Earrings, I wanted to try incorporating beads into the design. The result was these pretty little medallion earrings.

Each earring is crocheted in the round using fine jewelry wire and size 6/0 seed beads. The beads are threaded onto the wire before crocheting and then incorporated into single crochet and double crochet stitches to create the circular medallion.

Once the crochet is complete, each medallion is attached to an ear wire using a crimp bead. The finished earrings have a delicate, textured appearance and can be customized with your favorite bead colors.

Looking for a smaller version? Try my Beaded Crochet Wire Earrings pattern, which uses just one round of crochet to create a delicate, dainty design.
