Easy turquoise earrings

Made these as a gift for someone, and I can't wait to make them again.  I think using other stones would make great variations.  Here's what you need:
Sterling silver ear hooks
Small sterling chain
a bunch of sterling head pins, probably 22 gauge or similar
assorted small drilled through stones, I used turquoise

For anyone who has done any wire wrapping at all, this could not be easier!
Insert a stone into a headpin, then start a loop- feed through a section of the chain, and wrap the loop closed.
To get this look, I added only 1 or 2 stones toward the top, then in the middle section grouped a bunch really closely, then had about 3 stones spaced out at the bottom of the chain.
Slip the top hole of the chain through the ear wire, then twist the earwire shut.
Good job!
