Falling Snow Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

Blue Shade crystal snowflakes are coated on one side. Check the pendants carefully to hang both crystals in the same direction.
Due to the thickness of the crystal, a large jump ring made of thin wire is required. Optionally, use wire to create a wrapped connection or bail. We used sterling silver 8.5mm sparkle-wire jump rings.
For best way to open and close loops, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
Open the bottom loop of the ear wire (same way as a jump ring) to attach the snowflake connector.
