Flowering Tulip Vintage Brass Earrings
I always find myself drawn to dramatic earrings, and our Vintage Brass Feather Tulip Bead Caps definitely call for some attention! I paired them with our Magenta, Teal, and Purple Bell Flowers and dropped pieces of Vintage Brass Chain from each with some splashes of color and cute little Vintage Brass Curved Leaves. You can wear these without any other jewelry and still feel like your outfit is complete. The finished length measures approximately 4 inches, including the ear wire. Feel free to adjust the length by shortening the chain. –Dannie, Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. Using Flat Nose Pliers, twist open the links on the Chain to get four different size lengths: one 10 links long, two 12 links long, and one 14 links long. Also twist open two single links. On one of the single links, attach a Curved Leaf Charm and close the link. On the other single link, add a Topaz Drop from the Sand Mix and attach that to the front of the Leaf link. Twist it closed.

Step 2. Open the eye of the Eye Pin and slide on the Leaf link. Open the bottom link on the 10 link piece of Chain and add another Topaz Drop, then slide this piece of Chain onto the Eye Pin. Open the bottom link on a 12 link piece and add a Golden Drop from the Sand Mix, then slide this piece onto the Eye Pin. Slide any of the Cubes from the Sand Mix onto a Head Pin and form a simple loop above it by bending the Head Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers and trimming with Side Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind. Curl this into a loop with Round Nose Pliers and attach it to the bottom link of the other 12 link piece of Chain, then slide the Chain onto the Eye Pin. Slide a Pearl onto a Head Pin. Make a simple loop above the Pearl and add this to the bottom link of the 14 link piece of Chain, then add it to the Eye Pin. Close the eye securely.

Step 3. Thread a Pearl onto the same Eye Pin, followed by a Bell Flower, four Seed Beads and a Cube from the Sand Mix. Thread on the Feather Tulip Bead Cap, another Pearl, and a Seed Bead from the Sand Mix. Form a simple loop above the Seed Bead, then open the loop on a Rounded Ear Wire and insert it in the loop.

Step 4. Repeat Steps 1-3 to complete the other earring, ensuring you’re using the same beads from the Sand Mix as in the first earring. Enjoy!
