Starlet Earrings
About this design:
For these drop earrings, I made bead charms with assorted tiny gemstone stars and hung them from Rock Crystal & Seafoam Agate beads. I love how well the soft colors go together & the Seafoam agate adds just the right amount of shimmer.

- Rock Crystal faceted Round 7mm
- Silver Bead Caps
- 6mm Black Lip Shell Star Beads
- Assorted 4mm Gemstone Star Beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: With a piece of wire, make a bead link by sliding on a bead cap, a rock crystal bead, another bed cap, and a seafoam agate bead. Attach the bead link directly to a 1" piece of chain. Make bead charms with the gemstone stars and attach down the chain with jump rings. I hung a Black Lip Shell Star at the bottom. Slide onto the earwire. |
