The assembly:

To start, choose your beads. Here we chose small donut beads in Pyrite, 6mm round beads in Strawberry Quartz, and 2 irregularly shaped mother-of-pearl beads.

Mount the mother-of-pearl bead on a flat head pin. Thread a small metal rondelle bead then the mother-of-pearl bead, at the top of the bead form a nice simple loop of normal size. The small metal bead dresses the mounting by adding a little detail that makes the difference!

Next, open the hoop support. Thread in order, a metal bead, a pyrite bead. Repeat this step to place 3 pyrite beads alternating with small golden beads. Finish with a golden bead (4 beads in total).

Now thread a round Strawberry Quartz bead, place a golden pendant, then another round bead. Assemble 4 round beads in total, alternating with golden pendants (3 in total).

Thread the mother-of-pearl bead mounting then continue the assembly symmetrically.

To secure the hoop, place the post back into its notch then bend the end of the post upwards with flat pliers. This step is essential because it prevents the hoop from opening and your beads from escaping!

To finish, open a 4mm ring then assemble the hoop bead mounting, a golden pendant, and the earring support. Close the ring properly.

The golden pendant serves as a reminder with the earring support because it has the same effect/texture. It also helps to hide the technical hook of the hoop.

Now, repeat all the steps to assemble the other earring.
