How To Make Gold Flourish Earrings With Pearl Drop

Materials

2 Gold vermeil flourish connectors, 20mm x 20mm
2 Round faceted crystals, Crystal AB, 3mm
2 Pearls, 8mm
2 Headpins, gold
2 Earring wires, gold

Tools

Chain-nose pliers
Round-nose pliers
Wire cutters

Steps

1. Slide a crystal bead onto a headpin.

2. Slide a pearl onto the headpin.

3. Start to make a wrapped loop above the pearl. To do this, grasp the headpin wire next to the pearl about a third of the way up the jaws of the round-nose pliers (this will help make the loop large enough to fit the flourish connector). Bend the wire 90 degrees toward you.

4. Reposition the pliers to the top of the 90-degree bend then bend the wire away from you over the top jaw of the pliers. This will make a partial loop.

5. Switch the pliers so the bottom jaw is now in the loop, and pull the wire around to finish the loop.

6. Feed the end of a flourish connector onto the headpin and nestle it into the loop.

7. To wrap the loop, grasp across the loop with the round-nose pliers and wrap the tail of the headpin wire around the neck two times.

8. Trim the end of the wire with wire cutters. Press the end of the wire down against the wraps using the chain-nose pliers.

9. Open the loop on an earring wire with the chain-nose pliers. (Open the loop to the side like you’d open a gate to maintain its round shape.)

9. Feed on the other end of the flourish connector. Close the loop.

10. Repeat to make a matching Gold Flourish Earring!
