For this set of earrings I have used 3 different types of beads, 2 round sizes and one rondelle bead. The blue and brown shades of the Amazonite are accentuated beautifully by the bronze-coloured details. Finally, the Art Nouveau ear hooks complete the look!
What do you need for 1 pair of Amazonite earrings?
- 2 round Amazonite beads, size 14 mm
- 2 round Amazonite beads, size 8 mm
- 2 rondelle Amazonite beads, size 12x8 mm
- 2 bronze headpins, size 50 mm
- 4 bronze filigree bead caps for the rondelle beads
- 4 bronze flowerpetal bead caps for the 14 mm beads
- 2 small bronze lantern beads to place at the bottom
- 1 pair of Art Nouveau style ear hooks
How do you proceed?
Take a 50 mm headpin and place in the following order:
1 bronze lantern bead, 1 8 mm Amazonite bead, 1 flowerpetal bead cap, 1 14 mm Amazonite bead, 1 flowerpetal bead cap, 1 filigree bead cap, 1 12x8 mm Amazonite rondelle bead, 1 filigree bead cap.
Cut off the headpin and try to bend the eyelet as close to the last bead cap as possible.
