I've wanted to work with these goldstone drops for quite a while. The
combination of the goldstone with the different colours of the beads
really is a beautiful sight. The crystal rhinestones bring out the
colours of the drops, and the cute little bowtie is the cherry on top!
What do you need for one pair of earrings?
How do you proceed?
The earrings consist of three parts: the pendant with the drop, the connector with the rhinestone, and the earhook.
Use a pair of nose pliers to place the octagon rhinestone into the
prong setting. Put your thumb on the rhinestone to keep it in place, and
fold the prongs down to secure the stone in the setting. To prevent the
stone from slipping, it might help to begin by folding down the clasps
that are situated opposite one another.
You won't need any glue to keep the stone in its place once you have folded down all the prongs.
Place the drop onto the headpin and add a beadcap on top. You can
bend the cap to make it fit more neatly if necessary. Cut off the
headpin, but make sure you leave enough material to fashion an eyelet.
Do not completely close up the eyelet.
Attach the eyelet of the drop to the prong setting and close up the eyelet.
Fold down the eyelet of the earhook. Make sure you attach the prong
setting before adding the bowtie; the bowtie needs to be in front of the
rhinestone. Now close up the eyelet of the earhook.
Your earrings are finished!
