Earrings made with the PRECIOSA Candy™ Pressed Beads

Preciosa Ornela presents the PRECIOSA Candy™ Pressed Bead from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™ brand. This two-hole low cabochon has a round base with a diameter of 8 mm. Thanks to its shallow curvature, the lower section is highly suitable for use in embroidery and for use in combination with PRECIOSA seed beads and beads.

String 5x R10. Thread the line through the lower hole of the next central C. String 2x R10. Thread the line through the central R10. String 2x R10. Thread the line through a hole of the central C.

Thread the line through an arch of 6x R10 above the central C. String 1x R10. Thread the line diagonally through 5x R10 on the rocaille cross. Repeat this 5 more times. When doing so, alternate the direction from right to left. Add the last 1x R10. Sew the line into the initial arch above the C.

Assembling the earrings

Step 9

Cut off the steel wire. Create a loop at the beginning. String 1x R8. String 6 balls. String 2x R8 between each of them. String 1x R8 at the end. Create a final loop. Cut off 4 pieces of chain at a length of about 2.5 cm. String the created loop onto the circle and the links on two chains. Do the same for the second created loop. Attach rings to the opposite end links of the chains. Thread them through the circle and connect them with the loop using the butterfly clasp. Make sure the earring does not twist in relation to the butterfly clasp. Hang the second earring on the butterfly clasp in the opposite manner.
