What you'll need


Tools you'll need: flat-nose pliers, bent flat-nose pliers

Don't have your pliers yet? The duo of flat-nose and bent flat-nose pliers is ideal for opening and closing jump rings neatly.

Add the 2 pink pliers — €11.90

The steps


1
Attach the connector

Open a 4 mm jump ring with the two flat-nose pliers. Attach the pebble connector to the bottom of the stud earring, then close the ring properly, again using the flat-nose pliers.

2
Add the pendant

Open a new 4 mm jump ring and attach the pebble pendant to the bottom of the connector. Close the ring: your pebble cascade is complete.

3
Make the second earring

Do the same for the other earring, then slide a butterfly back onto each post. Your earrings are finished.

Perles Corner tip

Play with textures to create contrast: here, the softer-grained granite connector sits between two slate pebbles with a bold relief. The light catches each element differently, giving the cascade more depth.
