These are a particular style of earring which is characterized by a big hoop and all these fun, sparkly beads on it and I've got these acrylic rhinestone beads, so they're really lightweight but they're really very sparkly and very pretty and that's what I'm going to be using for this particular project to make my hoop I'm actually using memory wire which is great because it's going to help to hold it's shape, you've not going to have to form that perfect circle. It's already going to be formed for you and I thought I'd put on a little ball post and I just got a little earring back as well the tools that you're going to need is a pair of round nose pliers chain nose pliers and some type of memory wire or heavy-duty wire cutter memory wire is very strong so you're not going to want to use your good flush cutters on it. You want to use something that's either specifically made for it or a little heavier duty this is a easy project and we're going to put one together right here. I thought I'd use a different color earring to show you how to do this so I've got my memory wire and it's perfectly spiraled find one end of it see where it overlaps to make s complete loop and I want to overlap by about half an inch. I'm just going to eye ball it snip it so now I've got a circle my ends are overlapping for one end I'm going to take your round nose pliers grip just the tip make a loop. Roll it back that's what we've got so far on the straight end now just going to load up my beads I'm going to put on this end on this particular earring I'm going to put nine of these beads and because they are plastic they are very lightweight they're not gonna be too heavy when they are on there I've got six put three more take my round nose grab the tip again. About the same spot on my pliers before. so I have nice even loops I'm gonna roll it over and create another loop Now we've got two loops now we've got our beads on there and they're not gonna fall off now to attach the post take my chain nose plier open up one of my loops a little bit just enough so that I can slip the loop of the ball post on there now I'm gonna bend it back try ti bend it back into place as carefully as you can just so that there's not a gap for your post to escape so now for open the other loop up as well this is the trickiest part that's not all that hard, it's just getting another right angle slide it on there as well I've captured both of them and I'm just going to take my chain nose bend my loop back in place all that's left now is putting my earring back on it was that simple to make a pair of basketball wive style earrings.

7 basketball players who scored from above - Basketball
7 basketball players who scored from above
The problem is not even that it is more difficult for women to physically score from above. Almost every basketball player with a height of two meters is capable of this, and, for sure, indulges in training like this. But in the official game there is a recommendation from the coach, which leaves no options - "by scoring from above, a basketball player can get injured." Perhaps the point is in the structure of the female body and its capabilities, but this commandment is hammered in, starting from children's youth schools.
The unspoken law is valid on any continent, at any time. And fans willy-nilly have to look for the beauty of women's basketball in something else. But rules are there to be broken. Sports.ru counted all the distinguished ones.
Georgiann Wells, December 21, 1984
Height: 199 cm
University of West Virginia student Georgianne Wells set the precedent in 1984. In the game against the "Charleston" she recorded such a thing as "women's throw from above." At the same time, the ball was of a standard size - no concessions were made to the girls then.
Even though it was just an NCAA Christmas tournament, Sport Iillustrated photojournalists were on hand to capture the historic moment.
Lisa Leslie, 2002, 2005
Height: 196 cm
The inimitable Lisa Leslie reminded the world that girls can jump. She is the Michael Jordan of women's basketball. Leslie won the Olympic Games three times, became the WNBA champion twice with the Los Angeles Sparks, received the MVP award three times. She became a cover face, role model and the first top scorer in the WNBA.
Three years later she gave an encore from above.
Candice Parker, 2008
Height: 193 cm
Next in WNBA history was Candice Parker. It is interesting that the American put on top also playing in the form of the Los Angeles Sparks. Another confirmation that show time was invented in this city. In order to be well remembered, Parker decided to score from the top in two matches in a row.
Maria Stepanova, 2004
Height: 202 cm
“I will not hide, I was jealous of Leslie. I was offended that she was the first, and not me. After all, before the birth of my son, I played in America, was in excellent shape, and I had every chance of becoming the first basketball player in the world to perform this throw. But I didn’t have time - I got pregnant and left the sport for a while, ”Maria presented iron-clad excuses for why we were not destined to become the first.
But at the first opportunity, one of the most famous Russian basketball players showed what she was capable of. In the match against Vologda-Chevakata, Maria effortlessly put on top and became the second woman in the world who managed to do it with both hands.
Andrey Ischuk, the owner of VBM-SGAU, was so moved then that he gave the basketball player a ring and earrings with diamonds, and from the club he issued an additional bonus of a thousand dollars.
Only they say that Lisa Leslie got one million dollars for her first slam dunk...
Michelle Snow, 2006
Height: 196 cm
Snow is much more famous for her furious block shots, but at 196 cm tall she just couldn’t help but try to score from above. Even in the NCAA All-Star Game.
Sylvia Fowles, 2009
Height: 198 cm
Sylvia then already understood that dunking in the WNBA did not surprise anyone and decided to do it first in the Euroleague. Yes, and for the Moscow "Spartak".
Brittney Griner, 2012
Height: 203 cm
Nowadays, everything has already been calculated, and annoying British scientists have found an explanation for every phenomenon in the world.
It has even been scientifically proven that basketball players simply physically cannot jump high vertically. It has been calculated that, on average, girls are 48 centimeters off the floor, while men are 71.
And here comes Brittany Griner from Baylor University, only confirming that there will always be exceptions. “I don’t know why girls so rarely score from above. Perhaps we are more prudent and understand that we will not be given more points for this. Therefore, we often score from the shield, ”Brittney laughs it off. She herself has been hanging on the ring since childhood. And now, despite the fact that the March Madness is in full swing for men, Brittney Greener's name is constantly flashing in the NCAA news feed.
She scores from above.
And scores.
When the enthusiasm subsided a little, some began to grumble that with such a height it was not a problem to put on top, and in general, it would be nice to check if it was a girl running around the site. But for some reason, the feeling that all this is said by people who themselves, at best, barely jump to the bow of the ring, does not leave.
Romantic, bold and timeless! This is how you can describe the Congo earrings, known to many as hoop earrings.
Where the earrings got their name from
In the 1970s, European and American fashion turned to the primitive cultures and art of African tribes. And since in North Africa, including the Congo, it was customary to wear hoop earrings, the jewelry got its “geographical” root.
Special clasp and design
In a classic clasp, one detail usually penetrates another, which creates the illusion of a ring being whole. Sleeping in such earrings is not recommended, despite the fact that usually such models are hollow and almost weightless.
Hoop earrings can be completely different sizes. The most popular design is a thin smooth ring with a large diameter without inserts. In addition to traditional models, it is fashionable to wear rings with pendants, for example, made of diamonds.
Who is suitable for hoop earrings
This type of earrings is worn by both women and men. Congo earrings are suitable for any type of face. Of course, men prefer to wear one earring of a modest diameter, while for women there are no barriers in the choice of design and materials.
How to wear Congo Earrings
Large hoop earrings are great for festive and summer looks, such as boho, glam rock.
