Quick Bling Wire and Crystal Earrings

By , About.com Guide

Introduction and Materials

If you are ever in need of some quick bling but don’t have a lot of time, then these earrings are for you. I purposely tried to use materials that the average wire and bead jewelry maker would have on hand; however, this same design can be easily altered by making it longer or shorter or by changing the type and color of crystals and wire used.

You’ll need:

14 – 4mm AB crystal bicone beads
4 – 1 inch sterling head pins
Approx. 2 feet of 22-gauge soft sterling silver wire
Round-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Flat-nosed pliers
Jewelers’ file
