  • Add two rondelle beads to a 5mm jump ring and then link the top of the two chains together and attach to the earwire.
  • Use a 5mm jump ring to suspend an 8mm crystal pendant between the two beads on the jump ring attached to the earwire.
  • Use another jump ring to suspend the 10mm crystal pendant from the bottom loop of the crescent link.
  • Repeat for other earring.
