Instructions:

1. Begin with two 1", 22 gauge silver plated head pins. Place a 5 mm purple velvet Swarovski Crystal bicone bead onto each head pin. Use wire looping pliers to create a simple wire loop after each crystal bead and trim the excess with a pair of flush cutters.


2. Repeat this process with two 1", 22 gauge silver plated open eye pins and two more crystal beads.


3. Use flush cutters to cut a 3/4" length of 1.6 mm antique silver plated cable chain.


4. Take one of the crystal beads you've put on a head pin and use the wire loop you made to hang it from the loop inside the window shape on a 24.5 mm antique silver plated window chandelier earring finding.


5. Hang one of the crystal beads you've put on an eye pin from each of the lower loops on the earring finding using the wire loop you made.


6. Use the lower loops on these beads to attach one end of the chain to the bottom of each bead. Be sure the wire loops go through the last loop on each end of the chain.


7. Hold the earring up straight and determine which link in the chain hangs in the middle at the bottom. Use the wire loop you made on the second bead with a head pin to hang the bead from this link in the chain. Make sure it's the middle link so that the bottom bead hangs directly between the middle two.


8. Use a pair of chain nose pliers to gently open the ring on the base of an antique silver plated fish hook earring hook and hang the top loop of the earring finding on the ring. Close the ring. Make sure the front of the earring finding is facing forward.
