Emily's Elegant Earrings

Up | Previous | Next


These beautiful earrings were originally made for Emily to wear in Maggie�s Wedding, but we loved them so much, we wanted to offer them as an everyday elegant offering. Step one: On a sterling silver eye pin, string a 3mm Swarovski faceted round bead followed by a light orange pearl nugget and another round bead. Finish with a simple loop. For instructions on how to make a simple loop, please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Attach the dangle to the bottom of a French hook earwire. Step two: On a sterling silver head pin, string a sterling silver flower outline bead cap followed by a 12mm Swarovski cosmic pendant and another bead cap. Finish with a simple loop. Attach the loop to the bottom of the eye pin dangle. Step three: Repeat for the other earring. Approximate length: 2 inches Approximate cost: Under $30.00 Tip: There are only two of the nugget pearls used in this design, to save money, make the matching necklace and/or bracelet and use left over pearls for this project. That will bring the price down significantly.
