Artemis Christmas Tree Earrings Tutorial

A jewelry project from Rings & Things, based on a holiday earrings design from CREATE YOUR STYLE. Created by: Rita Hutchinson.

Designer Tips

Fill the large end of the artemis bead with the 8mm puffed rondelle / briolette bead. This allows the 4mm rondelle tree trunk to be visible. Use Bronze Shade, Smoky Topaz, Golden Shadow or any of your favorite Swarovski crystal golden-brown shades of crystal.
Add beads in this order to a head pin, 4mm cube bead, 8mm 5040 briolette / rondelle, 17mm Artemis, 4mm bicone.
Make a simple loop or wire-wrapped loop at the top: For step-by-step instructions on making wire-wrapped loops or simple beaded head pin loops, see our Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF)
Twist ear wire loop open slightly, add beaded head pin, and twist to securely close.
