A mother-of-pearl cabochon with iridescent glints, then two golden flowers that tumble down in a cascade: an orchid with wavy petals and a finely chiselled flower. Romantic earrings with a true designer-jewelry feel, and so easy to put together.
For those who love romantic, luminous jewelry. A gift to create in the stone of your choice, or a pair to wear for the festive season.
Tools you'll need: jewelry glue, flat-nose pliers
Missing glue or pliers?
The same earrings with a different 8 mm faceted cabochon. Each button adds the 2 cabochons and all the findings from the tutorial. Under each stone, the intention that crystal healing traditionally associates with it.
Gently open the ring on the back of the orchid pendant. Slip in the loop of the earring base, then gently close the ring.
Open the ring on the back of the other flower pendant and attach it to the bottom of the orchid pendant. Close the ring.
Place a tiny dot of glue inside the cabochon setting, then position the cabochon. Press lightly so it sits firmly in the glue.
Repeat the same steps for the other earring. Your earrings are finished.
Assemble the flowers before gluing the cabochon: that way you can handle the earring freely without risking moving the stone while it dries. A tiny dot of glue is enough; too much would spill over onto the mother-of-pearl.
