I wanted to make dangling and elegant earrings. I wanted to mix the materials to obtain an absolutely original and unique piece of jewelry. That we do not see anywhere else. So I selected the materials, imagined its appearance and selected the colors.

In the end, I chose to marry:

  • Very trendy colors for the next season
  • Crystal pearls which reflect with the brilliance of hematites
  • Yellow pearls to contrast the set of colors.

The result is even brighter than I expected. In addition, they are long and yet so light.

In this instructable, I wanted to show you how to obtain a Unique Jewel with great precision and patience.
A jewel that looks like you.

Supplies

To make these earrings, you need:

  • Crystal beads in 3 different sizes
  • drop-shaped hematites
  • seed beads
  • cat's eye for the yellow pearl
  • soutache yarn (3 differents colors)
  • ear hooks
  • a pearl needle
  • nylon thread
  • scissors
  • glue

To Sew

Arrange the 3 soutache threads together, giving the shape of the hematite drop.

Thread the needle with the nylon from the inside and sew in small steps going around.

Pass the needle through the hole of the drop several times to secure it.

Add a few small drops of glue to the thickness of the drop to attach it to the soutache wires.

Secure the Set

Go Up One Floor

Add Another Floor

Add another tier with the medium crystal beads. Form a zig zag with the soutache.
This is the back of the jewelry.

Asymmetry

Sew the crystal beads asymmetrically.
Add the top floor, sewing the small beads. Then cut the soutache threads at the same time.

Add a Piece

Finishing

The finish is very important. You have to join the soutache threads after having cut them clearly.

Assembly

Second Earrings

Obtain an Identical Result
