The universe is something so amazing, so magical, that humans only know a small fraction of it. Some of the advances humans have made is the knowledge of a solar system which is unique. There are no other solar systems and our planet Earth is within its planet. For this instructables I wanted to be inspired by the solar system and made some earrings with spirals that form the rings of the solar system and with each stone I wanted to recreate the planets.

1. To begin, take the sun charm.

2. Take the gold jewelry wire and attach it to the charm with a small clasp.

3. Make a spiral with the wire to your liking, leaving the sun charm in the center or to one side of the earring.

4. Cut the wire according to how large you want the earrings.

5. Stretch the wire again and insert the natural stones in the order you want. I tried to arrange them in the order of the solar system.

6. Exhale again and arrange the stones, forming the solar system around the sun pendant.

7. Once you have organized the shape of the coil and arranged the stones in their places, cut off the excess wire with the help of pliers.

8. Now, use the 22-gauge wire to join it with the coil wire and wrap it around to join and close the coil piece.

9. After closing, use the same wire to secure each stone, each stone, so that they don't move within the coil, otherwise they will remain securely in place.

10. For the planet Saturn, hold the stone with the wire and wrap it 3 times, then twist and make the characteristic Saturn ring and insert a golden bead to decorate.

11. This is how each stone will be wound. In some places, add a gold seed bead to give it a little design.

12. After winding each stone, finish by closing it with the wire.

13. Finally, place the solar system on an African hook like the one shown in the image.


This way, you'll have earrings inspired by the solar system.
