Autumn Waterfall Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue

Designer Tips
3 sunny shades of orange crystal bicones cascade in a warm ombre waterfall, from Vintaj hammered brass rings.
Make wire-wrapped loops using ball-end head pins and 10 crystal beads, then use large jump rings to cascade them from the Vintaj® ring.

Gently slide the jump rings onto the hammered Vintaj ring, so you don't scratch the ring with the open edge of the jump rings.
For tips on creating wire-wrapped loops and the best way to open and close jump rings, see Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF).
Twist the loop on the ear wire to open it (same as a jump ring), add to the top loop of the Vintaj ring, and securely twist the loop closed.
