The Idea

To create the hook, take the 2" wire and create a loop at one end. Wrap the wire around a cylindrical object, something like a permanent marker for the round bend. 

With a gold wire, create simple loop and continue rolling over the wire. Use flat nose pliers to hold wire parallel while rolling wire. Make 2-3 loops, insert bead and close loop with same rolling technique. Center decorative wire on bead. Attach hook and gem with jump bead. Create matching earring.
