Sensibility Earrings

Tammy Powley
Heart beads represent the heart, of course, and since one of the sisters in Austen's Sense and Sensibility was ruled by her heart while the other was ruled by her head, I thought they were a good choice. These earrings are basically an upside down version of the Sense Earrings.

To make these you’ll need:

5 inches of 20 gauge round silver wire
2 hematite heart beads
4 4mm crystal beads
2 sterling ear hooks
Round-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Jewelers’ files
Chain-nosed pliers
