Cut one 4-inch length of gunmetal-plated 2.5mm figaro chain.
Onto each of four 2-inch 23-gauge gunmetal-plated ball head pins, string one Crystal Passions® 4mm light Siam bicone bead. Make a simple loop to finish each of the four drops.
Open two 4mm 20-gauge gunmetal-plated jump rings and attach one black bat charm to the bottom link of the length of chain cut in Step 1. Attach a second bat charm approximately 1 inch above the lower bat charm. Close the jump rings securely.
Using 4mm 20-gauge jump rings, attach the crystal drops from Step 2 randomly along each chain length between and around the bat charms.
Open one 4mm 20-gauge gunmetal-plated jump ring and attach the top of each chain length to one 17mm 22-gauge black-finished fishhook ear wire. Close the jump ring securely.
Repeat Steps 1 – 5 for the second earring.
