Cool Your Jets Magnetic Men's Earring Tutorial

Created by: Laurae Sather

Designer Tips

Cut the post portion off the rivoli earring finding.
File the back until you have an approximately 4-5mm flat spot (about the same diameter as the earring magnet).
Mix two-part epoxy according to manufacturer's directions.
Apply epoxy to the flat portion of the rivoli setting, and place 1 part of the magnet set on the glued area.
Once thoroughly cured, mix more epoxy and glue the rivoli into a rivoli setting. Set aside to cure.
To wear, place the other part of the magnet set behind the ear and place the rivoli finding with the glued magnet on the front of the ear.
These earring magnets are very strong and will support the earring.
