1. Remember to double the instructions to make both earrings. Onto a copper headpin, thread a 4mm dark red coral Austrian crystal bicone and a fluted antiqued copper bead. Create a wrapped wire loop (LINK) and trim off excess wire. Onto another copper headpin, thread a 4mm crystal copper Austrian crystal bicone and a diamond cut out antiqued brass bead. Create a wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire. Set these dangles aside.
2. Gently pry open the antiqued brass pinch bail, only wide enough to fit over the Austrian crystal leaf pendant. Line the two prongs of the pinch bail up with the hole in the Austrian crystal leaf pendant and carefully squeeze it shut.
3. Open an antiqued brass jump ring. Onto the jump ring thread the following: the headpin dangle that contains the dark red coral Austrian crystal bicone and the fluted antiqued copper bead, the Austrian crystal leaf pendant, and the headpin dangle that contains the crystal copper Austrian crystal bicone and the diamond cut out antiqued brass bead.
4. Finally, thread the jump ring through the loop on the earring hook. Close the jump ring once more.
