Simple Wire-Wrapped Briolette Earrings

This is the wire-wrap loop every beginner should master before anything freeform: a wrapped briolette wire loop on 24ga half-hard wire, three clean coils below the loop, trimmed flush. The whole point of practicing this exact loop repeatedly is that it's the building block for looped chain, cluster earrings, and eventually cage work — most "advanced" wire wrap is just this loop technique combined more times, not a fundamentally different skill.
