Angel Earrings
This week’s idea incorporates our exclusive cast single Angel Wing Charm highlighted with solid Copper Rounds and Spacers. Black Pressed Glass Rounds add a hint of darkness against the shimmering antique silver. Finished length measures approximately 3 inches, including the ear wires. –Brandi, Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. Onto an Ear Wire, slide one Silver Round and one Copper Round. Form a simple loop above the Copper Round by bending the Head Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers. Trim the excess with Side Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind, and curl into a loop with Round Nose Pliers.
Step 2. Onto two separate Head Pins, slide one Copper Round and one Black Round. Form a simple loop above each and set aside.
Step 3. Onto a Head Pin, slide on one Silver Round and one Black Round. Form a simple loop above each and set aside.
Step 4. Cut a piece of Chain to measure approximately 2 inches in length. (It would be best to have one of the larger links on one end.) Set aside.
Step 5. Twist open a Jump Ring and slide it through the loop of the Ear Wire and through the loop of the Angel Wing Charm. Before twisting closed slide on the Head Pin with the Black Round from Step 2 and the larger link end of the Chain from Step 4. Take the Head Pin with the Copper Round from step 2 and twist open the loop and slide it onto the second link of the chain, twist closed.
Step 6. Onto the strand of Chain, slide on the Copper Spacer Ring and attach the Head Pin from Step 3 to the bottom link.
Step 7. Repeat Steps 1-6 to complete the other earring. Enjoy!
