DIY earrings with gemstones

Here in the wizard you will find a guide on how to make a few simple gem stones. In the video below they make use of a top drilled bead (drilled across the top) and a pierced pearl (drilled longitudinally), and review the techniques you need to put them together in LED!

If you only work with pierced beads you can use a pearl stick as it is flat at the bottom and is used for the final pearl in the row. Find our guide on how to make 8's with pearl sticks here!

This you need to use

• 1 pointed flat pliers
• 1 Bidtang
• 1 round
• 10 cm jewelry wire (sterling silver, doublé or gilded/silver -plated brass or copper)
• 1 Top drilled stone or pearl (stone drilled across at one end)
• 1 pierced stone or pearl

In the video, a bent tip plap is used. It is not necessary that you can easily use a regular tip flat pliers. If you are missing pliers to make jewelry with, we have a small selection of the three basic pliers: tongs, round tongs and pointed flat pliers, Right here.

If you are missing loose parts, also called Findings, to complete your jewelry we have both creoles, ear hooks, locks, chain extenders and many other loose parts. You can find them here.

Really good pleasure!
