Freshwater pearls for ear studs
Add a dash of renewal to your ear studs with a long cluster of freshwater pearls. "This long pearl cluster can definitely complete a look," Anna thinks. She has made a pair for Clara and one for herself.
Cut 40 cm of metal wire and add three small freshwater pearls which should be in the middle of the wire.
Add a large pearl to both ends of the wire.
Add another two small pearls on each their ends of the wire followed by one large pearl which should go through both ends so they are gathered. Tighten.
Add two small pearls on one end of the wire and two large pearls on the other. The end on which there is now two pearls should be led through the large pearl which is situated on the other end of the wire but from the opposite side, so that both ends of the wire are led through the same large pearl but from each separate hole. Tighten.
Add a small pearl on each end of the wire and then add a large freshwater pearl on both ends.
Grab the wire at the hole of the pearl with round-nose pliers and bend both wires around the pliers at the same time so a noose is created.
Grab the noose with flat nose pliers and twist the wire around itself a couple of times under the noose.
Cut off excess wire. Now, you can put any ear stud through the noose and wear the earrings.
