STEP 1
Thread a crystal rondelle onto an eye pin. Finish the end with a simple loop. Repeat to make six double-loop rondelle links.
STEP 2
Open twelve 4mm jump rings. Attach two at the top and two at the bottom of a 19mm crystal square. Repeat for two other 19mm squares.
STEP 3
Open the loop on one end of one double-loop rondelle link then add the ring of an ear wire. Close the loop. Open the loop on the other end of the double-loop link then thread on the jump rings on one end of one crystal square. Close the loop.
STEP 4
Open a loop on a second double-loop rondelle link then thread through the jump rings on the bottom of the crystal square connected to the ear wire. Close the loop. Open the loop on the other end of the link then thread on the jump rings from a second crystal square. Close the loop.
STEP 5
Repeat, adding a third double-loop rondelle link to the bottom of the second crystal square then connect the third square.
STEP 6
Create a briolette wrapped loop for the crystal drop. Open a jump ring, thread on the briolette wrapped loop and the two bottom jump rings on the third crystal square. Close the jump ring.
STEP 7
Repeat the entire process for the second earring.
