Black Lip Pearl & Amethyst Stud Earrings

Black Lip Pearl & Amethyst Stud Earrings

This earring jewellery making kit is perfect if you're just starting out as a jewellery maker. Our sterling silver snaptite earstud setting makes this an easy jewellery making project.

We love the contrast between the black lip pearl and amethyst. You could even get creative by choosing your favourite gemstone instead.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the faceted amethyst stones face down (flat side down) onto a firm surface such as a magazine placed on your work surface.

2. Place the mount over the stone and apply gentle pressure to 'click' the stone into place.

3. Check that the claws are firmly in place - it may be necessary to gently adjust the claws with a pusher to ensure a secure fit.

4. Thread each flower bead through the earring posts so they sit against the snaptite setting then add your scrolls. Your earrings are now ready to wear!

RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THIS PROJECT

Stone holder - perfect for gripping small stones

Pusher - to ensure the claws are secure around the stone

CUSTOMISE YOUR KIT
