Pearl Dangle Earrings

Almost every woman has a pair of pearl post earrings. They go with everything and instantly dress up an outfit. However, if you have long hair like I do, it’s hard to see posts. This lead me to design these "Pearl Dangle Earrings."

You’ll need:

2 4mm pearl beads
2 4mm clear Czech crystals
2 head pins
approx. 4 inches round 20-24 gage wire
2 ear hooks
wire cutters
jewelers’ files
round nosed pliers
flat/bent nosed pliers

1. Cut our wire in half and file all ends smooth.

2. Take one piece of your wire, and use round nosed pliers to make a loop on one end.

3. Continue to hold the loop with the round nosed pliers as you wrap the wire around itself using bent nosed pliers.

4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for the other end of your wire.

5. Repeat steps 2,3, & 4 to make a duplicate from your other piece of wire.
