Find all the step-by-step instructions below.

For this project you will need:
stud earrings for 6x8mm cabochons Gold plated with 24K fine gold butterfly clasps 24K fine gold plated 8mm cabochon settings Gold plated with 24K fine gold rigid brass wire 24K fine gold plated 3mm and 5mm open rings 24K fine gold plated 2 cabochons 6x8mm and 2 cabochons 8mm 2 round faceted pendants 6mm

Tools to use:
jewelry-making pliers UHU glue

The assembly:

To start, cut a brass wire about 13cm long. Place round-nose pliers at the center of the wire and work the wire to form a loop with the 2 parts of the wire crossing downward.

Reshape the wire to give a nice cherry tail shape.

Make the second thread for the other earrings at the same time. This will make it easier to create 2 identical assemblies.

Now adjust the length of the longest wire to form a loop 4.5cm from the top loop. On the other wire (the shortest), form a loop 3.5cm from the top loop. Make discreet loops positioned inward.

Then attach the 8mm cabochon pendants on the shortest wires with 3mm rings.

On the longer wires, attach the faceted pendants with 5mm rings. Be careful not to force the stone; gently open the ring, insert the stone and the loop, then close the ring.
