Little Drops of Sunshine - Swarovski Tutorial

Design by SWAROVSKI Create Your Style

Although these sunny earrings weren't designed with birthstones in mind, we love this cheerful use of Light Topaz, one of November's birthstone colors.

Instructions
Using alcohol wipes, clean all the settings and set aside to dry.
Using one 4470 10mm fancy stone, glue into one 10mm cushion setting and set aside for 24 hours to dry. Repeat three times and set aside.
Glue a 4470 fancy stone into a 12mm cushion setting and set aside for 24 hours to dry. Repeat one time and set aside.
Cut wire into twelve 1" pieces and set aside.
Using one wire, make a simple loop at one end. Slide on one 4mm 5328 bead and make a simple loop. Repeat seven more times and set aside. For instructions on making loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
