Skill Level: Beginner
Done in a festive kelly green cabochon set in a warm Vintaj brass setting, these earrings are perfect for St. Patty's Day and beyond.
Instructions

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. Remember to double all of the instructions in order to make both earrings! Using a pair of chain nose pliers (XTL-5511) gently pry open the prongs on the antiqued brass bezel, just enough to accommodate the green magnesite cabochon.
  2. Place the cabochon into the bezel setting and close the prongs around it. To get a tight fit, you can gently roll the prongs down on a hard, scratch-proof surface, such as a bench block (XTL-6091).
  3. Open the loop at the bottom of the earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and thread it through the loop at the top of the bezel. Close the earring loop once more.
