These long dangling earrings feature vibrant blue zircon PRESTIGE crystals set against a classic neutral of silver. The long chain from the delicate hook sways as you walk, causing the crystals to sparkle delightfully in the sunlight.

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.

Feel free to add more crystals to your chain for extra sparkle!

Begin by cutting 1.5" of chain.
Open a jump ring and link it to the Majestic Pendant and one end of the chain. It is a snug fit to keep the delicate feel of these earrings. Wiggle your jump ring until it goes into the pendant and then pull it so the opening is up top. Slip on an end chain link from your cut piece of chain. Close the jump ring.
Open another jump ring and link it to the other end of the chain as well as the loop at the base of the earring hook. Close the jump ring.
Please watch the video: How to Attach Wire Loops to Chain. Place a bicone onto a head pin, create a wrapped wire loop and attach it to the chain 5 chain links above the pendant (see video on how to do this). Count 5 more chain links from the spot where you just attached your bicone and attach a second bicone with a wrapped wire loop. Now count 5 more chain links from the last attached bicone and connect a third one with a wrapped wire loop.
Make your second earring following the same steps as the first one. Enjoy!
