Lu Star Earrings Tutorial

Created by: The Swarovski Crystal CREATE YOUR STYLE Design Team

Designer Tips
Using one eye pin, attach one Chinese Lu Charm to the bottom.
Slide on one 6mm gold bicone crystal, one 10mm Rouge pearl, and one 6mm gold bicone. Make a simple loop to close. (Use 1-step looper or see Jewelry Basics 101 - PDF).
Attach ear wire.
Repeat for other earring.
Note: Aurum 2x (bright gold) bicone beads are not always available, so we've linked in 2 other 6mm gold bicone bead options below as optional substitutes.
