Royal Roundelle Crystal Jet Earrings

Tammy Powley
Black jet crystal beads were a staple in jewelry worn during the Victorian period. These earrings are a mix of old a new. The roundelle-shaped beads are traditional while the Bali-style sterling bead cap adds a little modern, ethnic flair. These pair up perfectly with my Gunmetal and Jet Crystal Tassel Necklace or Chain and Jet Crystal Y-Necklace.

You'll need the following tools and supplies:

*2 - 12mm Swarovski faceted roundelle jet beads
2 - 2 inch Gun metal headpins
2 - 5mm Bali-style sterling bead caps
2 size 11 Black seed beads
2 - 3/4 inch Gun metal chain sections
2 Sterling ear hooks
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers

*These roundelle beads came from Artbeads.com, item number 5050-Jet12.
