The steps


1
Attach the orchid

Gently open the ring on the back of the orchid pendant. Slip in the loop of the earring base, then gently close the ring.

2
Add the second flower

Open the ring on the back of the other flower pendant and attach it to the bottom of the orchid pendant. Close the ring.

3
Glue the cabochon

Place a tiny dot of glue inside the cabochon setting, then position the cabochon. Press lightly so it sits firmly in the glue.

4
Make the second earring

Repeat the same steps for the other earring. Your earrings are finished.

Perles Corner tip

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.
