Hot Springs Chandelier Earrings
We’ve seen ombre styles all over the runways lately, so I wanted to try that blended color effect in a pair of earrings. Crystal Clear Swarovski Bicones melt into Citrine, Sunflower, Red Magma, and end in deep Siam teardrops with gold accents. These are a blast to make and will definitely make a splash in your summer wardrobe! They dangle about 3.5 inches at their longest point. –Dannie, Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. It’s easiest to cut all of the Eye Pins ahead of time to ensure your loops will be uniform in size. Take an Eye Pin and trim about 3/8 inch from the end with Side Cutters. Repeat on 27 more Eye Pins and set aside.

Step 2. Take one of these shortened Eye Pins and slide on a Siam Bicone. Form a simple loop above it by bending the Eye Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers and curling into a tight loop with Round Nose Pliers, making the loops perpendicular. Before closing it, thread it through the loop of the Ear Wire. Open the other loop and thread it through the top hole of the Chandelier Finding.

Step 3. Using these Eye Pins, slide on one each of three Crystal Bicones, three Citrine Bicones, three Sunflower Bicones, three Crystal Red Magma Bicones, and one Siam Bicone. Make the first dangling chain by connecting simple loops in this order: Crystal, Citrine, Sunflower, and Crystal Red Magma. Ensure that all of these simple loops are parallel. Connect the Crystal Bicone to the left loop of the Chandelier. Repeat this chain and attach it to the right loop of the Chandelier. Repeat the chain once more, ending with a Siam Bicone this time and attach it to the center loop.

Step 4. Thread one Siam Bicone onto each of two Head Pins and form a simple loop above each Bicone, trimming any excess wire with Side Cutters. Attach each of these to the remaining Crystal Red Magma Bicones.

Step 5. Twist open a Jump Ring with Flat Nose Pliers and thread on a Siam Teardrop, then thread the Jump Ring through the center Siam Bicone loop before twisting closed.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 2-5 to create the other earring. Enjoy!
