Directions:
Step 1. Take an Ear Wire and slide one Olivine Pearl and one Bronze Pearl onto the shank. With Flat Nose Pliers, bend the ear wire 90 degrees a few millimeters from the bottom and curl into a loop with Round Nose Pliers. Leave loop partially opened. Take a Filigree Half Cone and slide the loop of the Ear Wire through the top loop on the Cone. Close the loop on your Ear Wire completely.

Step 2. Cut a piece of Chain measuring approximately two inches in length. Slide the partially opened Jump Ring through the end of the chain, then through the bottom filigree loop on the right side of the Cone. Close the Jump Ring. Repeat on the other side of the Chain on the Cone’s left side with another Jump Ring.

Step 3. Cut another piece of Chain measuring approximately five links in length. Take a Jump Ring and gently twist open. Slide through one end of the Chain and then through the middle loop on the bottom of the Cone. Close the Jump Ring.

Step 4. To create the dangles: take eight Head Pins and slide on one Pearl per Head Pin. Do four Bronze Pearls and Four Olivine Pearls.

Step 5. Set one Olivine Head Pin aside. For the others, form a tight loop above the bead on each Head Pin by bending the Head Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers, trimming the excess with Wire Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind, and curling into a loop with Round Nose Pliers. Leave loops slightly opened.

Step 6. Thread one Bronze and one Olivine Head Pin onto the Jump Ring on the right side of the Cone (used to attach the 2-inch piece of Chain). Close the loops. Repeat on the other side using the other Jump Ring.

Step 7. Take one Bronze Pearl Head Pin and thread the loop through the third link from the top of the center Chain. Attach one Olivine Pearl Head Pin on the link below. Then finish off this set of dangles by attaching one Bronze Pearl Head Pin to the very bottom of your Chain. Close each loop.

Step 8. Take the last Head Pin with the Olivine Pearl and slide it through the center hole on the front side of the Cone. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend and push the Head Pin until it forms a tight loop on the back of the Cone. This will keep your Pearl in place. If you have an adhesive, you can also just place a dab of that on your Pearl to keep it in place.

Step 9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 to complete your other earring. Enjoy!
