When I first saw these Czech glass melon teardrops, my first thought was that they would be perfect for earrings. I paired them with gemstones & bead caps to create a few different looks.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Czech glass melon teardrops
  • Czech glass hibiscus coins
  • Czech glass gold spacers
  • Headpins
  • Earwires
  • Jump rings
  • Gold 24 gauge wire
  • Bead caps
  • Freshwater potato pearls
  • Seed beads
  • Rock crystal faceted 3mm rounds
  • Amazonite tumbled nuggets

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Begin by making a bead link with the 24 gauge gold wire- Slide on a bead cap, the Czech glass melon, a gold Bali spacer, and a purple seed bead. Next, use a headpin to make a bead charm- slide on a small gold seed bead and a Czech glass 7mm hibiscus coin. Attach the charm directly to the bottom of the bead link. To finish, slide the top loop of the bead link onto an earwire.

Begin by making a bead link with the 24 gauge gold wire-Slide on a gold Bali spacer, a melon bead, another spacer, and a pink seed bead. Next, use a headpin to make a bead charm- slide on a small gold seed bead and an Amazonite nugget. Attach the charm directly to the bottom of the bead link. To finish, slide the top loop of the bead link onto a 10mm twisted gold jump ring. Slide the jump ring onto an earwire.
