  2. Using flush cutters, cut two lengths of antiqued silver chain: 2 inches and 3 inches.
  3. Open a jump ring. Slide it through the first link of both lengths of chain, and also slide it through the loop below the bezel on your earring finding. Close the jump ring.
  4. Open another jump ring. Slide it through the last link of both lengths of chain, and also slide it through one of the loops on one earring back. Close the jump ring.
