Purple Haze Earrings Tutorial
Designer Tips
- Set Purple Haze cushion squares in settings, and use nylon jaw pliers to squeeze prongs down.
- Burnish the prongs smooth with a burnisher.
- Create 16 simple loops with the Golden Shadow crystal bicones, and add the bicones to the bottoms of the tassels. For instructions on creating, opening and closing loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
- Attach tassels to bottom of settings, and ear wires to tops of settings.
- Optional: Trim some chain sections to vary the length of each chain, or to keep them all identical.
- Wear them from dusk til dawn!
