  2. Onto the wire thread three 3mm bicones, a daisy spacer, a 3mm bicone, a daisy spacer, an olivine briolette pendant, a daisy spacer, a 3mm bicone, a daisy spacer, and three 3mm bicones.
  3. Gently shape the wire into a teardrop so that the briolette rests at the bottom of the teardrop directly in the center.
  4. Pinch the the two ends together, and create a loop at the end of each, curving outward.
  5. Use a 3mm jump ring to connect the two loops.
  6. Add a 4mm jump ring to each loop, and join those two jump rings together with a third 4mm jump ring.
  7. Add the earring hook to that last jump ring.
