Christy's Gift Earrings Instructions

Carrie presented her bridesmaids with a choice of two sets of bridesmaid's jewelry each! Each one was unique and made to complement their personality. After much deliberation, they each chose the styles they liked best, thinking those were the items they got to keep. They were right, but Carrie also surprised them with a thank you gift of the second set of jewelry on her wedding day! Be sure to check out Christy's matching necklace and bracelet.

Step one: On a sterling silver head pin, string a Swarovski 6mm cream colored pearl followed by a Swarovski 8mm light Colorado topaz faceted round bead. Finish with a simple loop. For help making a Simple Loop please visit the Handy Tips section in the Learning Center

Step two: Use a sterling silver spiral link to attach the dangle to the lever back earwire. Repeat both steps for the second earring.
