These bauble charm earrings remind me of a classic charm bracelet with all their dangles and a focal charm by Nunn Design. You could even consider adding more dangles or another lightweight charm to the earring.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

When you make your wrapped wire loops for these earrings, make them a bit larger than usual so they are about the same size as the 5mm jump rings used in this project. Also, it's okay to have slightly "messier" loops to create a more organic feel. You are going to be making a bunch of dangles and then slipping them onto the hoop.

Place onto a ball head pin 1 teacup bead facing up, 1 pearl, 1 teacup bead facing down. Create a wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire. Create a total of 2 of these.

Open a jump ring and place your charm onto it. Close the jump ring.
Now slip these dangles you just made onto your earring in the following order: a crystal pendant, the pearl and 2 teacup bead dangle, the bicone bead and 2 teacup bead dangle, the pearl with 1 teacup bead dangle, the charm, a crystal pendant, the pearl with 1 teacup bead dangle, the bicone bead with 2 teacup bead dangle, the pearl and 2 teacup bead dangle, and finally another crystal pendant.
Repeat the previous instructions from start to finish to make your second earring. You can also view these earrings being made in the video: How to Make the Bauble Charm Earrings with Teacup Beads, Nunn Design Components and PRESTIGE Crystals.
