Speleothems

Difficulty: 3
Technique: linking

Linked earrings made from PRECIOSA Villa™

The slender PRECIOSA Villa™ pyramids can be hung to create extravagant costume jewelry earrings which evoke limestone cave speleothems thanks to the hole which is placed in their square base. The edges of the pyramids especially stand out in opaque glass colors or with the use of all-over surface finishes.

Procedure

Step 1

The "rhomboid" earrings

Link up the individual rows; 2x V, 2x 2 V, 2x 3 V and 1x 4 V. String the V. The stringing must be loose and the V must still be able to move after the linking of the eye pins. Create a loop. You need about 8 mm free at the end. Grasp the edge of the wire and twist it around the point of the needle nose pliers. Gently fold it back so that the loop is centrally above the V. Both loops must be twisted in the same way.
