These stunning earrings take care to make, but are not nearly as complicated as they look. Make them for a wedding, weekend or away or just to add a touch of glitz to your office attire.
Step one: On a 1-inch ball head pin string a 3mm Swarovski white pearl and finish with a wrapped loop. For help making wrapped loops please visit the Handy Tips section in the Learning Center. Attach a sterling silver open jump ring to the loop. Repeat once. Hang one of the pearl dangles from the top center jump ring on the sterling silver filigree 2-layer crescent chandeliers. And the other from the center bottom loop of the chandelier.
Step two: On a head pin string a 3mm faceted aquamarine round crystal and attach it to one of the loops on the chandelier with a wrapped loop. Repeat three more times for the remaining loops.
Step three: Attach the top center jump ring of the finished chandelier to the sterling silver 4mm stardust ball ear post and earring back.
Step four: Repeat the steps to make the second earring.
