Elegant Brass Drops Tutorial
Designer Tips
- Cut the wire into two 1" pieces. Make a simple loop, slide on one 6mm bicone bead, and make a simple loop. For step-by-step instructions on making loops, and the best way to open and securely close loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF). Repeat and set aside.
- Using one jump ring, attach it to one 16mm pendant (with the Shimmer coating side facing out) and attach to the inside ring on the Gypsy Drop.
- Using one ear wire, attach one component made in the first step. Using other end of component, attach to the Gypsy Drop.
- Repeat for other earring.
Swarovski's #6106 Pear Pendants really are a perfect fit for this pretty Vintaj drop. And this pair (with Amethyst shimmer) is perfect for February birthdays!
