Seaspray Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

Figure out the "top" and "bottom" of the chain, to make sure the shells hang correctly.
Attach simple loop crystal dangles to the chain link under the seashell charms for best results. See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for step-by-step looping instructions, and best way to open and close loops.
Retain shell charms from cut link of chain and attach them with the starfish pendant at the bottom of the chain.
