Howlite and Hematite Rocky Candy Earrings

By Tammy Powley, About.com Guide

I know these earrings don’t actually look like rock candy. However, they remind me of a certain type of candy with a hole in the middle, and the beads are made from rocks, so I call them Rock Candy Earrings. Though I’ve used hematite and howlite here, these circular style of beads come in a variety of stones.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

2 - 20mm Donut shaped howlite beads
2 - 6mm Hematite beads
2 - 9x22mm Teardrop hematite beads
2 Eye pins
2 Head pins
2 Ear hooks
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
