Fluorite Drop Earrings

Fluorite Drop Earrings

We've combined our dreamy fluorite cabochons with our elegant rainbow fluorite cube beads which come in a range of delicate colours from lilacs to greens. Creating the perfect earring drops ready for spring and summer!

Easily customise your earrings with your favourite gemstone beads, metal beads or charms.

With the products listed in the shopping list, you will receive more headpins than needed which you can use for even more projects.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Begin by applying glue (we recommend using Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy glue) to the link setting and set the fluorite cabochon. Leave the dry.

2. Thread a fluorite bead onto one headpin, 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. Hook the loop onto the end of the link setting and 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.

3. Use snipe nose pliers to open the loop of the earwire and connect to the top of the link setting and twist closed to secure.

4. Repeat the previous steps to complete the other earring.
