Sticks & Stones Earrings
About this design:
These earrings are a plan B. I started out wanting to make double earrings that draped between the posts, but the tiny bead link chain I made still didn't want to drape nicely. I do love stick earrings and this style sold really well as shows in the past. Creating different combinations of gemstone colors is a favorite thing of mine to do :)
Pair A: Tourmaline
Pair B: Pacific Blue Apatite, Apatite, Madagascar Amazonite
Pair C: Malachite, Tiger Eye, Apatite, Sunstone
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 3" headpins
- pair of posts with loop
- variety of tiny faceted saucers & rondelles
- round nose pliers
- wire cutters

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Create your bead collections that you will be using for your earrings. |
|
Step 2: String 2.25" of tiny faceted saucers onto a 3" headpin. Tip: When you string the tourmaline, you already have a miexed color strand. Try stringing the headpin while the beads are still on the string. |
|
Step 3: Wire wrap a tiny loop and attach to open loop on the post. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
