Retired - Cosmic Diva Earrings in Volcano Girl

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.

1. Apply a small amount of E6000 adhesive to the backside of a volcano 20mm crystal cosmic ring, making sure you keep your glue to the inner part of the back of the ring. If your glue goes too far to the outside, it will show on the sides of your earring. In this design, the foiled side is the back side.
2. Place your cosmic ring glue side down onto a 19.5mm silver filled stamping blank, making sure it's completely centered. Allow glue to set for an hour before continuing.
3. Place a good amount of E6000 into the center of the cosmic ring on the stamping blank. There should be a good sized dab, but not too much. It should be less than half way up the center of the ring.
4. Place a 14mm tanzanite rivoli point side down into the glue in the center of the ring. Make sure it's centered and leave to dry overnight.
5. Put a 6mm tanzanite bicone bead onto a 1 1/2", 21 gauge silver plated eye pin. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and trim the excess.
6. Use the loops on the ends of your eye pin to attach one end to your crystals on the blank and the other end to a silver filled long angled earring hook.
