Garnet Crystal and Wire Earrings

Tammy Powley
These Dangling Garnet and Silver Earrings go great with the Garnet Crystal and Owl Charm Necklace, but you will find that you can wear these with all kinds of other jewelry pieces. They have a lot of dangling and movement going on and are light weight and comfortable to wear.

You will need the following tools and supplies to make these earrings:

6 - 6mm Garnet colored Czech crystal beads
12 - Size 11 silver colored seed beads
12 inches of Sterling plated 22-gauge wire
2 Silver ear hooks
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
*Nylon-nosed pliers
Jeweler's file

* Use nylon pliers as necessary to help straighten the wire as you work with it.
