Earrings with Swarovski Crystal and Silver-Plated Brass Drops

STEP 1
Glue one 2.6mm Swarovski flat back rhinestone to each of the silver-plated hoop focal components. Set aside to allow glue to dry.
STEP 2
String one Swarovski 6mm round bead onto a 1-inch silver-plated eyepin. Form a simple loop on the straight end of the wire to create a 6mm Siam crystal beading link.

Repeat to create a total of four 6mm round red crystal beading links and two 4mm round red crystal beading links using Swarovski 4mm round Siam beads and 1-inch eyepins.
STEP 3
Cut two 1-inch lengths and three 3/4 inch lengths of silver finish 2.2mm cable chain.
STEP 4
Open a 6mm round silver-plated jumpring and thread through a 10mm Swarovski heart drop and the first link on a 3/4 inch length of chain. Close the jumpring. Open one loop on a 6mm round Swarovski beading link and attach it to the last link on the 3/4 inch length of chain. Open the opposite loop on the 6mm round Swarovski beading link and attach it to the first wire loop in the center of the silver-plated hoop focal component.

Repeat to attach hearts to each 3/4 inch length of chain and then a 6mm red crystal beading link to the first and fifth wire loops in the center of the silver-plated hoop focal component.
STEP 5
Open one loop on the 4mm round Swarovski beading link and attach it to the first link on a 1-inch length of chain. Close the loop. Open the opposite loop on the 4mm red beading link and attach it to the second wire loop in the center of the silver-plated hoop focal component. Close the loop.

Repeat to attach the other 4mm Siam crystal beading link to the other 1-inch length of chain to the fourth wire loop in the center of the silver-plated hoop focal component.
STEP 6
Open one loop on a 6mm Siam crystal beading link and attach it to the top loop of the silver-plated hoop focal component. Close the loop. Open the opposite loop on the 6mm Siam crystal beading link and attach it to the loop on a silver-plated fishhook earwire. Close the loop on the beading link.

Repeat Steps 2 - 6 to create the second earring.
