What You'll Need

Instructions:
- Remember to repeat all of the instructions to make a pair of earrings!
- Cut about six inches of the sterling silver wire and create a simple loop at one end of the wire.
-
Thread the following onto the wire:
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- a sterling silver noodle bead
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- a 5mm bicone Swarovski crystal
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- a sterling silver noodle bead
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- an 8mm bicone Swarovski
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- a sterling silver noodle bead
- a 2mm sterling silver round bead
- a 5mm Swarovski crystal
- a sterling silver noodle bead
- and finally
- another 2mm sterling silver round bead.
-
Make another simple loop at the end of your beaded wire segment, and trim off excess wire.
-
Gather the two ends of the wire in the center, open a jump ring and thread it through the two simple loops at the ends of the wire. Close the jump ring again.
-
At this point the earring should have and oval shape to it, but you may shape the wire with your fingers if it is not yet oval.
-
Open another jump ring and thread it through the first jump ring.
-
Thread the open jump ring though the loop of the earring hook and close the jump ring once more.
