Retired - Bronze Pearl Earrings

Cut 2 4-inch pieces of the beading wire. Fold one piece of wire 1 1/2" from the end. On the folded end of the cord, bead one crimp bead, one crystal cube, and one 4mm Austrian crystal Pearl. Leave a small loop of wire poking through the end away from the crimp bead. Crimp the crimp bead.At this point you must put one of the earring hooks through the small wire loop you have made, so that the beads will not slide off while you are finishing the earring. Alternatively, you can crimp a second crimp bead above the 4mm Austrian crystal pearl, still leaving a small loop of wire free. This is a more secure construction method, but will not look as sleek.On the short end of the wire, string a 4mm pearl, a 6mm pearl, and a crimp bead. Crimp the crimp right at the end of the wire. Trim wire if necessary.On long end of wire, string, a 4mm, 6mm and 8mm pearl. Again, secure the end by using a crimp bead. Repeat Steps 2 thru 5 to create your other earring. 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.All designs © Beadaholique Inc.
