Fringe Lily Earrings Tutorial

The patina on the tiny Swarovski crystal rivoli pendants is hard to see in the photo, but adds a subtle, very pretty effect when these earrings are worn.

Designer Tips

  • Cut 2 chain pieces 1-1/2" long. Cut 2 pieces 4 links shorter and 2 pieces 8 links shorter.
  • Trim the head off the headpin, create a loop, and attach 3 lengths of chain. String crystal bead, and thread through from inside the calla lily bead to the outside, finishing with a wrapped loop.
  • For step-by-step instructions on making wrapped loops, and best way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
  • Attach rivoli pendant to each chain with small jump ring.
  • Attach earwire.
  • Repeat.
