On each eye pin, string the beads in the following order:

Slide beads down to rest against the loop of the eye pin, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of bare wire at the top.
Using round-nose pliers, form a wrapped loop directly above the top pearl. Trim excess wire and press the wrap neatly against the bead stack. Repeat for the second component.
Open one 4.5mm stainless steel jump ring and attach it to top hole of a 16mm crystal Bermuda 16mm marquise drop. Close securely. Repeat for the second crystal.
Using another 4.5mm jump ring, connect each marquise crystal to the bottom loop of the corresponding beaded component. Close securely.
Open one final 4.5mm jump ring and attach the top wrapped loop of the beaded component to the loop on one stainless steel and cubic zirconia flower post earring. Close securely. Repeat for the second earring.
