Three natural stones set in a cascade, from the stud down to the faceted pendant. The colors echo each other from one ear to the other without ever repeating at the same level: a delicate, colorful and thoroughly modern look, with a wonderfully simple assembly.
For those who love color and jewelry that is never quite the same. A gift to create in the favorite stones of the one who will receive it.
Tools needed: jewelry glue, flat-nose pliers, bent-nose pliers
Missing glue or pliers?
Two more stone trios, on the same principle: the first stone as 2 cabochons, the other two as 1 cabochon and 1 8 mm pendant each. Each button adds the stones and all the findings from the tutorial. Under each trio, the intention that lithotherapy traditionally associates with it.
Lay the stones out flat to decide on the combinations and positions. For a lovely sense of rhythm, make sure the same stone never sits at the same level on both earrings: the colors should be asymmetric. Here, the green jasper is at the top of one earring and in the middle of the other.
Glue the cabochons into the stud earring settings and into the connectors, following your design. Let them dry completely.
Using a 3 mm jump ring, attach each connector beneath its earring setting. Open and close the ring with a sideways twist using the flat-nose pliers.
Using a 6 mm jump ring, attach an 8 mm round pendant to the bottom of each connector, still following your design.
Slide a butterfly back onto each post. Your earrings are finished.
The secret to successful asymmetry: choose one “thread” stone that appears on both earrings (here the green jasper, as two cabochons), and arrange the other two as a reversed mirror. The earrings echo each other without being identical.
