Copper Lady Earrings

Project E194
Designer: Andrea Morici

Note: The head pin originally used in this project has been discontinued and a slightly different item has replaced it. The overall look of the earring will not change much, but the head pin at the bottom will differ slightly from the photo.

These delicate dangles are stacked with warm antiqued copper and gorgeous two-toned Czech glass beads. They are reminiscent of an exquisitely dressed Victorian lady.

NOTE: This project includes one or more items that are no longer available, despite our best efforts. We have kept this project on the site for you to use as a template or inspiration for your own creations.

Instructions:

Remember to double all of the instructions in order to make both earrings. Onto a headpin thread the following:

a tiny copper scalloped bead cap (BMB-3289), concave side up
a 7mm copper open petal flower bead cap (BMB-6455), concave side up
an 8mm two toned brown and crystal Czech fire polish bead (BCP-38100)
a 6mm copper cone flower bead cap (BMB-6461), concave side down
a 9mm copper plated triple point bead cap (BMB-3854), concave side down
an 8mm copper plated granulated flower bead cap (BMB-3860), concave side up
a 7mm copper open petal flower bead cap (BMB-6455), concave side up
a 6mm two toned brown and crystal Czech fire polish bead (BCP-38100)
another tiny copper scalloped bead cap (BMB-3289), concave side down

Create a wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire.

Open the loop on the earring hook the same way that you would open a jump ring. Thread the earring hook loop through the loop on the headpin. Close the earring hook loop again.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
