Moon Phase Earrings

Project details:

These celestial themed stainless steel focals are out of this world. Beautiful moon phase cut-outs and silouettes make these easy to design with and wear. I used a rough amethyst drop for to add meteor-like texture and Czech glass with AB for a shimmering full moon effect in the rectangle earrings. Plus, these focals and ear wires are stainless steel which makes them durable and hypoallergenic. This is always a great selling point for your designs.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Teardrop earrings: Cut a 3" piece of wire and feed it though the amethyst bead hole. Twist the wire at the top to tighten it around the bead. Then feed the wire through the center teardrop loop. Wrap the wire around the top of the amethyst bead tightly and trim. Attach your jump rings and place them onto the ear wires.

Step 2

Rectangle Earrings: Trim a 5" piece of wire and feed it through the Czech glass bead. Lay the bead in the center full moon opening. Wrap the wire tails around each side, trim and tuck the end under the wrapped wire. Or you could use a little super glue so the wire end doesn't pop out of place. Attach the sunburst charm onto a jump ring then to the link. Now you can finish by attaching your ear wire.
