Earrings with bowknots and rhinestones

These earrings with acrylic rhinestones and metal bowknots are fully on trend and so easy to make.

These pearshaped rhinestones are light-weight (such a good thing for earrings), the silverfoiled back makes them sparkle, and they are available in a wide range of colours. Combined with the fun metal bowknots the combinations are endless.
What do you need to make these earrings

Flat nose pliers to close the prong settings
Round nose pliers to adjust the earwire
A pair of earwires, goldtone suits the brass settings well
Two prong settings with 1 loop for a pear rhinestone 18x13 mm
Two pear shaped rhinestones size 18x13 mm
Two metal bowknots

Additional tips for putting these earrings together

Take your time to get used to working with prong settings. Please refer to our article Making earrings with vintage rhinestones for a full description.
I've used earwires without a loophole. First you slide the bowknot on the wire, and then the finished setting. I squeezed the loop area slightly to prevent the pendants from sliding off too easily.
