To make ear wires for the earrings, use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut about 2 inches of 22 Gauge Artistic Wire from the spool. Use the narrow end of Soft Flex® Professional Round Nose Pliers to form a simple loop at one end of the wire. Move the pliers 1/2 an inch away from the simple loop. Using the wide end of the pliers, wrap the wire in the opposite direction as the simple loop. Repeat entire step to form a second ear wire.
Use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut 1 inch of 22 Gauge Artistic Wire from the spool.
Use Round Nose Pliers to form a loop on one end of the wire. Form a loop on the other end of the wire, in the opposite direction as the first.
Repeat Step 3 five times to form a total of six figure 8 links. Use Chain Nose Pliers to connect the links, making sure to open and close the loops as you would a jump ring by twisting the loop away from itself, rather than pulling it apart. Attach one end of the chain to 1 ear wire.
Use 2 inches of wire to string 1 Peridot Rondelle to the center of the wire. Use 1 end of wire to wrap up and around the bead and coil once around the wire above the bead. Use the other end of wire to form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to the bottom link of the chain.
Repeat Step 5 using 1 pearl.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 four times, moving up one link of chain each time.
Repeat Steps 1-7 to make a second earring.
