Retired - Secret Keeper Earrings

PROJECT E717
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate
These charming earrings feature a lovely old fashion key hanging from a striking olivine Czech glass chaton. To me, it looks like the key unlocks some magical secrets hidden within the stone. Very pretty!
Instructions

NOTE: If you order a second set of keys (PND-5750), you can make 2 pairs of these earrings with the supplies in the kit. Don't forget to double these instructions to make your matched pair of earrings.
  1. Please watch the video: How to Use Nunn Design Prong Settings for Chatons and Make a Pair of Earrings.
  2. From what you learned in the above video, place an olivine Czech glass chaton into the Nunn Design 4-prong setting and fold the prongs over the stone.
  3. Open the loop at the base of your earring hook and connect it to one of the loops on the pronged setting. Close the loop back up.
  4. Open and attach an oval jump ring to the loop on the other side of the pronged setting and also link onto it a key charm. Close the jump ring.
  5. All done! Enjoy.
