Retired - Peach Puff Earrings

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. First, make a support structure to keep your earring bezels level as you work with them. Take a jewelry box (a shoe box would also work) and poke two holes through the top. Place the posts of your earring bezels through the holes. Set up your two charm bezels on a flat surface nearby.
2. Next, please watch our video on how to add color pigments to concrete for jewelry. Based on the instructions in the video, mix your concrete in a mixing cup and use a toothpick to add a small amount of terracotta pigment into the concrete. Stir until the color is blended, and add more pigment until the color reaches your desired saturation.
3. Use a toothpick to drip the concrete into one earring bezel and then the other. Repeat this process with the two charm bezels.
4. Let the concrete cure overnight.
5. Using pliers, open a silver jump ring. Slide it through the loop at the bottom of one earring bezel, and the loop at the top of one charm bezel. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step for the second earring.
6. Place earring backs onto your earring posts. Enjoy!
