These elegant earrings feature dark gunmetal leaves that brush against Jonquil Swarovski crystal rhinestones. These earrings are fancy enough for formal occasions, yet playful enough for a night out. Try creating them as a fun accessory for Mother's Day. If you're looking for a set, these earrings work perfectly with the matching Jonquil Mist Necklace.
Step one: Using 5-minute two-part epoxy, glue together the backs of two Swarovski 17mm pendular lochrose sew-on rhinestones in Jonquil so that their holes line up. Repeat. Let these crystal dangles dry.
Step two: Cut a 1-inch piece of gunmetal-plated leaf chain. Attach a crystal dangle to the end of the chain using a 6mm gunmetal-plated 18 gauge open jump ring. Starting from the opposite end of the chain, count four links. Attach a gunmetal-plated plain earwire to the fourth link. Repeat to create the second earring.
