Making pearl danglers
Pearl is something that goes well with a lot of dresses. It can be worn on a day out with friends and it can even be coupled with a classy dress for an evening. Wearing spots or studs is great if you have short air but these are likely to get lost if you have long hair and have let it down for the evening. Making a couple of nice pearl danglers should do the trick for your pearl jewelry requirements.
You will need 2 pearl beads of the same size. Ensure that they are large enough to be seen properly when being worn in the ears. Add 2 Czech crystals, 2 head pins, 4 inches of 20 gage wire, 2 ear hooks, wire cutter, jewelry file, rounded nosed pliers and bent nosed pliers. The first thing that you will need to do is to cut the wire in half and file the ends of the wire in order to get rid of the sharpness. Use the round nosed pliers to make a loop at one end of each of the wires. Wrap the wire around itself by using bent nosed pliers to form a complete loop with no wire sticking out. Do this for both the wires.
Slip in the pearl and the Czech crystal in the head pin and use round nosed pliers to loop it. Wrap the extra wire around itself to form a closed loop. Put the other end of the wire into this loop and twist to interlock the head pin loop along with the wire loop being created now. Open the ear hooks, and attach the danglers to the other end of the loop and you have your earrings ready.
