Create the Beaded Earrings

1. Add 1 – Blue Crazy Lace Agate 12mm Semiprecious Round, 1 – Gunmetal 7x16mm Curved 6-Leaf Bead Cap (squeeze the Bead Cap around the Blue Crazy Lace Agate 12mm Semiprecious Round shaping it to fit), 1 - Antique Silver-Plated 6x13mm 3-Branch Bead Cap (squeeze the Bead Cap around the Blue Crazy Lace Agate 12mm Semiprecious Round and the Gunmetal 7x16mm Curved 6-Leaf Bead Cap shaping it to fit), 1 - Gunmetal 2x6mm Beaded Rondelle, 1 - Antique Silver-Plated 4mm Ridged Round, 1 - Gunmetal 1.5x4mm Beaded Rondelle, and 1 - Smokey Quartz 6x4mm Glass Crystal Rondelle to a ball pin.

2. Make a 90° bend in ball pin above beads.  Using round nose pliers (or any pliers you have) hold the ball pin near the angle and bend it around the pliers to make a loop.  Wrap down around ball pin creating as many coils as you can.  Trim any extra.  Your drop should look like this:

3. Open the loop of one of the leverback earrings (just twist it like you would a jump ring).  Add the loop of the drop and close the loop of the earring.  

6. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for the other earring.
