Shiny Disco Balls Earrings Instructions

Light up the night with these simple yet stylish earrings! Their dramatic shimmer is perfect for an elegant night out.

Step one:
Thread one 14mm Beadelle silver-plated crystal round pavé beads onto one 2-inch 20 gauge head pin, and thread one 10mm beadelle gunmetal-plated crystal round pavé bead onto one 20 gauge 1-inch eye pin. Finish each with a simple loop.

Step two:
Connect the two loops together to form a chain and then attach the remaining loop of the gunmetal-plated bead to one sterling silver open jump ring. Watch our Handy Tip video on how to use a jump ring if you need help.

Step three:
Attach the jump ring to one sterling silver earwire with gold-filled ball.

Repeat these steps to create a second earring.
