Double Peacock Pearl Chain Earrings
These pretty peacock pearl chain drop earrings offer a unique design that is so easy to make! The longer chain with pearl will hang behind your ear for an eye-catching look.
This shopping list features more supplies than needed such as our peacock pearls, sold as a pack of 10! So why not make yourself a matching necklace or bracelet with the remaining beads.
Due to the nature of pearls, their shapes and sizes will vary and they will have natural formation marks.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by cutting your chain using side cutters into the following lengths: 2 x 6cm & 2 x 4cm.
2. Thread a peacock pearl onto a headpin.
3. Use the tips of round nose pliers to form a loop in the headpin just above where the beads sit at the bottom of the headpin, then hook the loop onto the end of a chain link.
4. Hold onto the loop with the tips of snipe nose pliers and wrap underneath the loop a few times to secure. Trim excess wire using side cutters and tuck in the end of the wire.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining pearl beads, headpins and chain.
6. Use a pair of snipe or flat nose pliers to twist open a 3.5mm jump ring, attach the shorter length chain as well as the loop of the earstud setting under the ball, then twist closed to secure. Repeat for the other earstud.
7. Twist open another jump ring, attach the loose length of the longer chain drops as well as the loop of the earring scroll, twist to secure. Repeat for the other earstud.
Your earrings are now ready to wear!
