This is where it all started–the earrings Katherine Heigl was wearing on her new show, State of Affairs. I got completely distracted by the sweet simplicity of them. Does this happen to you? They were really eye catching and reminded of Beadalon’s new findings called, Stone Sett.
Stone Sett findings make it easy to set stones and CZ drops like these.
The settings come in a ton of different shapes so you can set pretty much whatever you like. Beadalon also has stunning cubic zirconia drops to fit in the settings. Ooo la la! That’s what I used to make my earrings.
Each setting will say what size CZ drop you can use in it on the back of the package to make life easy (and fool proof sparkly earrings).
These are some of the Beadalon findings I used to make the earrings above. Super easy!
Each of the findings have a clear spot where the CZ drop sits.
Then, use chain nose pliers to GENTLY squeeze the setting closed. The. End.
Ok, not really.
Now it’s time to connect your heart out. Use chains, jump rings and whatever your heart desires to construct the earrings. It can be as simple as hanging the drops on a pair of kidney shaped ear wires like this!
Done and done! How do ya like them apples?!
Pretty, right? Starting the New Year with a little sparkle is always a good idea! I hope 2015 is off to a great start for you!
