Sweet Iolite and Sterling Silver Earrings by BeadedImpressions
Iolite
& Sterling
by BeadedImpressons
Materials:
Tools:
Instructions:
- Using ~1.25" of wire, attach the
small iolite leaf to ~0.75" piece of chain.
- Make another ~0.75" piece of chain, link
the 4mm Montana Blue Bicone with wire and loop the end, attaching a
tiny silver pewter leaf charm to the looped end.
- Attach the large iolite leaf bead with
wire to the end of a ~1.5" length of chain.
- Make a large loop using 24 ga wire and
attach 2 pieces of fig/8 chain that are ~0.75" long, and one piece of
fig/8 chain ~1.5" long. To get your loops to be a uniform size,
use a wire mandrel or other cylinder shape to wrap around (a pen
of the right size can work).
- Link one 6mm Montana Blue Bicone
to the large loop, and attach directly
to an earwire.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for the other earring.
