These beads are a little bit fragile, so I don't recommend creating a wrapped
wire loop on them. Please remember to double these instructions to create your matched pair of earrings.
- Place a sapphire Czech crystal drop pave bead onto a sterling silver 2", 22 gauge head pin and create a simple wire loop after the bead.
- Using your flush cutters, clip the head off of another head pin. Create a simple wire loop at the end of the head pin. Then slide a sapphire rainbow Czech crystal round pave bead onto the pin and create another simple loop after the bead.
- Open one of the loops on the round bead and attach it to the loop on the drop.
- Open the loop on a sterling silver French wire earring hook and hang the free loop on the round bead from it; close the loop.
- Enjoy your sparkly new earrings!
