Luna Pearl Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Summer Melaas
Designer Tips
Place 1 larimar bead, 1 bead cap, and 1 faceted pearl bead on a thin ball-end pin. Wrap it to the tail of the luna moth. New to jewelry-making? See Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
Create a chain of 4 wire-wrapped links using 1 larimar bead per link, off the tip of the wing. (Optional: Make simple wire loops using a 1-step looper.)
Repeat for other side of moth.
With one larimar bead, link the ends of both larimar chains to the succulent post loop, making sure both chain sections are nice and straight, and not twisted.
Repeat for other moth.
Add your choice of earring nuts to the back of the posts.

Optional: 1-Step Looper
Tip: If using a 1-step looper, you may need to slightly adjust each loop more tightly closed, to keep your beaded chain secure. When adjusting loops, twist them sideways, like opening and closing jump rings. For additional colors and sizes, or similar items, click into the "Related Products" tab of any item.
