          4th of July Earrings Tutorial

          Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue

          Designer Tips
          • Center a stone in a setting and gently squeeze prongs in (with your fingers or pliers) working from opposite sides to keep the stone centered. 
          • Once the prongs are bent in, use the burnishing tool to smooth them firmly into place.
          • Cut 2 pieces of chain, 5 links long.
          • Cut 2 pieces of chain, 10 links long.
          • The links on this 2.8mm peanut chain are a nice size, easy to add medium jump rings to. Also, the flattened links nicely catch the light.
          • Select 12 matching medium sized jump rings (5-6mm) from the mix.
          • Use a jump ring to attach a sapphire (blue) teardrop to the bottom of each piece of chain. For best way to open and close loops, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
