These fun, yet sophisticated earrings are easy to whip up and you can change the color of shell beads to match your outfit!

By Erica Visocky

Materials

  • 12mm flat round shell beads
  • 10mm warped gold discs
  • Ball-tipped head pins
  • Eye pins
  • Ear wires (I formed my own with ball-tipped head pins.)

Tools

  • Round-nose pliers
  • Chain-nose pliers
  • Flush cutters

Instructions

  1. Create a link by stringing three 10mm warped gold discs onto an eye pin and creating a simple loop.
  2. Create a dangle by stringing one 12mm flat round shell bead onto a headpin and creating a simple or wrapped loop.
  3. Attach dangle to one end of link and ear wire to opposite end of link.
  4. Repeat for second earring.
