Instructions
Using flush cutters, cut the following:
- Cut two 3.5-inch lengths of silver-plated figaro chain.
- Cut two 4-inch lengths of silver-plated beaded filigree chain.
- Cut two 2.5-inch lengths of ParaWire™ silver-plated copper wire, 20 gauge.
Using large Wubber® pliers, gently bend each 2.5-inch wire length into a smooth, shallow curve designed to wrap comfortably around the top of the ear. Shape the wire so it follows the natural contour of the ear, helping the jewelry stay securely in place.
Using round-nose pliers, form a small loop at each end of the curved wire, keeping both loops facing the same direction. Repeat for the second wire.
Open a 4mm silver-plated jump ring and slide on one Oh! Ring™ silicone component.
Attach the jump ring to the lower center area of the curved wire component, positioning the silicone ring so it hangs freely. Partially close the jump ring.
Repeat for the second wire component.
Insert into the 4mm jump ring one end of the beaded filigree chain and one end of the figaro chain. Close securely.
Now attach other ends of both filigree and figaro chain to the opposite loop of the wire component. Close securely.
Repeat for the second earbud chain.
