Retired - White Jade Scorpio 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. Begin by opening the ear wire and slipping on one charm down to the loop at the base.
2. Trim off about 40 inches of wire. Straighten the wire so it is easier to work with.
3. Wrap the wire three times around the bottom loop trapping the charm in place (please see photo for reference). Make sure your tail is tucked in so it does not snag. Then wrap the wire going up the front side of the ear wire three more times.
4. String on one gemstone bead, lay it on the front center of the ear wire and wrap the wire three more times. Continue wrapping until you have added 10 gemstones total.
5. Finish your wrapping with four wraps. Tuck the end and trim the excess wire.
