Adorn the Top

Wrapped Loop at Top

Add more pearls and crystals to the top of the heart component.

Now it’s time to adorn the top of the earring. Take your sterling wire, and make a wrapped loop on one end.

Slip on one crystal, one pearl, and one crystal.

Then start another wrapped loop on the other end, but before you close the loop, slip it onto the top of the earring component.

Once you’ve closed the second wrapped loop, trim off excess wire, and use a jeweler’s file to file any rough areas of the wire.

Use this same process to adorn the top of your second earring component.
