These Ethereal chandelier earrings sparkle with every movement! Adjust chain lengths for longer or shorter versions. Designed by Tracy Proctor.
Cut 30 pieces of wire 5/8" long. Set aside.
Cut four 1/2" (13 links) pieces of chain, four 3/4" (17 links) pieces, and two 1" (21 links) pieces. Set aside.
Pick up one piece of wire and bend at right angle 1/4" from one end. Use round nose pliers to form a small simple loop. String on one seed bead, then bend wire at top of seed bead (protect bead with thumbnail). Form second simple loop. Use chain nose pliers (2) to position loops perpendicular to each other. Set aside.
Repeat Step 3 29 times.
Open one loop of one bead link and attach one 1/2" piece of chain. Close loop, then attach a second link at other end of chain. On other side of second link attach one crystal link. At other end of crystal link attach third bead link. At other end of bead link attach one crescent moon charm. Repeat.
Repeat Step 5 three more times, attaching half moon charms with 3/4" chain and full moon charm with 1" piece of chain.
Open one 8mm ID jump ring. String on one crescent moon dangle (leading with concave side of moon), one spacer, one half moon dangle (leading with flat side of moon), one spacer, full moon dangle, one spacer, half moon dangle (leading with convex side), one spacer, and crescent moon dangle (leading with convex side). Before closing jump ring attach to shank of one button. Close jump ring. (Note: if a moon charm ends up facing the wrong way, simply open loop on last bead link and flip charm around.)
Open one 5.5mm ID jump ring and attach to button shank. Before closing add loop of one ear wire. Close jump ring.
Repeat Steps 5-8 for second earring.
