By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- To see an example of this style of earrings, please watch the video: How to Make the Austrian Crystal Cluster Earrings. In the course of the video you will learn how to create wrapped wire loops to make your dangles and how to attach all of them to a jump ring and pear pendant. However, before attaching the pear pendant, please open one 5mm jump ring and attach it to the pear pendant. Close the jump ring. Use this jump ring to attach to the 6mm jump ring with the light amethyst dangles. This will make sure that the pear faces the right way when worn.
- Before beginning the earrings from the video above, please set the chatons into the earring post findings using a popsicle stick.
