Cut a 10-inch and 6-inch length of wire.
Place one end of the 6-inch length of wire on the middle-back of the golden selenite drop. Bend the wire lengthwise over the bottom of the drop. Make a small S-shaped bend in the wire where the wire bends over the bottom of the drop.
Pass beads onto the wire in the order desired then make another small S-shaped bend in the wire underneath the hole.
Pass the wire through the hole and bend it over to the back of the drop. Position the wire next to where it began and trim any overlapping wire.
Use Devcon® 2-Ton® epoxy to glue the 12mm brass drop to the back of the golden selenite drop where the ends of wire meet. Set aside to dry.
Once dry, pass the 10-inch length of wire through the golden selenite drop and create a small figure 8. Create a second, similar figure 8 then wrap the wire around the center of the figure 8. Trim any excess wire. Pass the chain through the top of the figure 8.
String a bead cap and a gemstone bead onto a head pin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of 14 beaded head pins. Attach the beaded head pins to the earrings.
