Dramatic is the only way to describe these earrings. The pieces pack a punch with the burst of colors from the Swarovski Rivoli and Drop crystals. And they are so easy to make too.
To make these earrings, begin by gluing the Rivoli crystal into the Rivoli holder with the E6000 and set aside. ***Be sure to follow the directions on the container***! Next, take the pinch bail and attach it to the Drop crystal pendant. Once you are satisfied that the glue is set on the Rivoli, you are now ready to put the earrings together.
Take a couple of the open jump rings and connect the lever back earring to the one end of the Rivoli segment. You will need 2 jump rings for each earring to make the crystal face foward. The ring on the lever back is too small to fit the ring on the Rivoli segment. Take 2 more of the open jump rings and attach the pendant to the other end of the Rivoli segment. The rings on the bail and Rivoli segment are both closed and 2 are needed to make the crystal face forward. Repeat the entire process for the second earring. That's it.
You now have a beautiful pair of earrings that will surely get you noticed.
