Instructions

Choose your favorite color of crystal for this design!

To begin with, place your round crystal bead onto an eye pin. Create a simple wire loop right after the bead and trim off excess wire.
To construct the earring, we are going to build from the top down.
Open the loop at the base of your earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and link it to one of the side rings on your connector link. Close the loop back up.
On the other side of the connector link, link the crystal segment you made in the first step via its simple loop (again, just open and close the loop like a jump ring).
On the other side of the crystal segment, connect your charm via the other simple loop. Close the loop.
Repeat these steps to create your second earring to make a matched pair.
