Earring Instructions
Step 1
Cut two 2-inch lengths of 26-gauge wire and two 2-link lengths of chain.
Cut the loops from one end of the glass rhinestone link part of both lengths of chain, so the chain lengths consist of a rhinestone link, a figure-8 link and a rhinestone "drop."
Step 2
String one 4mm pearl onto a head pin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create two 6mm pearl drops and two 8mm pearl drops.
Step 3
Pass one end of one length of wire through the hoop focal, above the hoop but between the first and second spokes. Wrap the end once around the hoop to secure.
Step 4
String one peridot 4mm bicone onto the wire then wrap once around the hoop toward the outside. Repeat with a green 4mm bicone and an emerald 4mm bicone.
Step 5
String the loop from the rhinestone link end of one length of chain onto the wire then wrap once around the hoop. Pass the wire across the back of the rhinestone link then through the opposite loop of the same rhinestone link. Wrap three times around the hoop then trim excess wire.
Step 6
Using the second length of wire, pass the end through the same two spokes of the hoop focal as the previous length of wire.
String one lime green 4mm bicone onto the wire then wrap once around the hoop toward the other side of the focal.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5, mirroring the design on the opposite side of the focal.
Step 7
From left to right, attach each of the pearl drops to the loops on the spokes: one 8mm drop, one 6mm drop, one 4mm drop, one 6mm drop and one 8mm drop.
Step 8
Repeat Steps 2 - 7 to create a second earring.
