Today's earrings are long, detailed and ornate - very appropriate for ornaments, don't you think? They have a certain style and elegance about them. I love the luminescence of the red miracle beds - it's almost as if they are glowing!
If you want to create a pair of Elegant Ornament earrings, this is what you'll need:
2 x 14mm red miracle beads
2 x 4mm Siam Crystazzi crystals
2 x double ended crystal rondelle beadcaps
2 x 6mm crystal rondelles
2 x silver four-sided lantern shaped beads
2 x 16mm Silver Filigree Leaf Bead Caps
2 x 14mm Silver Filigree Open Leaf Bead Caps
2 x miniature petal shaped bead caps
2 x silver 3mm beads
2 ball end silver earring wires
2 head pins
On one end of the double ended crystal rondelle, gently push the prongs in........
....until they meet in the centre to create a point.
Thread all the beads and findings onto the head pin using the photo as a guide.
Push all the components down and then, using chain nose pliers grip the head pin above the crystal.
Turn a 90° angle.
Using round nose pliers, hold the head pin above the bend and create a wrapped loop.
Trim away the excess wire of the head pin with flush cutters.
Wasn't that easy? Don't you love it when something that looks complicated turns out to be really easy. Make the second earring to match and then adorn yourself with your new Christmas Ornament earrings.
