Baguette Fancy Stone Earrings

Baguette Fancy Stone Earrings

by Tamara Honaman

Add Swarovski fancy stones to empty jewelry findings and add a beaded dangle for more bling!

Materials:

• 1 pair empty earring settings with ring
• 2 Swarovski 16x8mm pure baguette fancy stones (4524) in peridot glacier blue
• 4 Swarovksi 4mm pearls (5810) in pastel blue
• 2 Swarovski 3 mm pearls (5810) in pastel green
• 2 Swarovski 4mm bicone beads (5328) in light sapphire satin
• E6000® adhesive
• 8 silver head pins
• 2 silver 18 gauge jump rings
• 2 pairs of Chain- or flat-nose pliers, 1 pair of round-nose pliers, 1 pair of wire cutter
• Toothpick

Instructions:

1. Apply some E6000 to the inside chamber of the earring setting and spread it evenly with a toothpick.
   
2. Press the stone into the setting and ensure it is seated properly. 
   
   Clean up any excess adhesive that might have been pushed out. Set the earring aside so the adhesive can cure. Repeat for the second earring.
3. Thread a pearl onto a head pin. Form a simple loop in the head pin to create a pearl dangle (see this video for instructions if needed). Repeat with all pearls and beads until you have 4 powder blue pearl dangles, 2 powder green pearl dangles, and 2 light sapphire satin bicone bead dangles.
   
4. Using 2 pairs of chain- or flat-nose pliers, open a jump ring. Thread the open ring through the loop on the earring finding, 2 powder blue pearl dangles, 1 powder green pearl dangle, and 1 light sapphire satin bicone bead dangle. Close the jump ring.
   
5. Repeat step 4 to finish the second earring.
