Suggested Supplies

The pear-shaped crystal and glue-in setting originally used in this project are no longer available. However, we have lots of other crystal pear charms and pear-shaped drops! For some, you may need an extra jump ring to connect the drop to the eye pin. (The silver-plated jump ring mix is a great option.)
