DIY jewelry design. Earrings, bracelets, necklaces.

I found these gold color charms at Michael's craft store. I purchased two packs as I wanted to make up two different earrings for Halloween.

This pair went together easily.

Material needed:

2- Gold Plated kidney style, lever back earrings (A.C. Moore)

2- Gold Plated 3-loop chandelier component (#50507 http://www.eebeads.com/_earring.htm)

10- Gold Plated, open jump rings

2- Chandelier drops are 25mm Gold Plated Victorian (A.C. Moore)

6 gold color charms

Using pliers (see tool used discussion below), I just slightly opened each jump ring. The jump rings are used to connect the various components, making sure to well close each jump ring so no charms are lost when I wear the earrings.

To view a different design in which I used these same two chandelier components, see
Lapis and Swarovski Earrings on my Eight and More website.

These were a little bit more involved because I had to snip 4 lengths of chain, all the same length for hanging the charms plus the two short lengths for attaching hoops to the earwires.

Material and instructions are similar to Siam Red Heart Swarovski® 18x17mm pendant with gold accent earrings on my Eight and More website.

Note I slipped a gold plated coil and gold plated round spacer bead onto the wire of the two gold plated earrings.
I got the coil and spacer bead off of another ear wire, http://www.firemountaingems.com/details.asp?PN=H201414FN

The two styles of 6mm gold plated round beads are:

The chain is left over from my
Copper Sparkle earring design on my Eight and More website.

I wanted to make and present a special gift to my best girl friend. I found all the beads, Swarovski® and Czech Republic, plus the earring findings, even the heart shaped presentation box on the website for firemountaingems.
