DIY Chandelier Earrings

Chandelier-style earrings will never go out of fashion and look great with both casual and more dressy outfits.  And this super lightweight and sparkly pair are so easy to put together yourself, they will glam up any outfit you team them with!

I went with a bluish-multicoloured plus silver-plated metal theme, but feel free to go with your favourite colours.  You can use any style of round or teardrop-shaped chandelier finding for these earrings, and you can also swap the imperial crystal beads I used for Swarovski crystal or Czech firepolish beads.

Follow along for the full DIY!

Supplies

- 2 x metal chandelier drop earring findings

- silver-plated headpins

- 2 x silver-plated fishhook earwires

- 8 x imperial crystal oval beads (4x6 mm size)

- 2 x imperial crystal oval beads (6x8 mm size)

- jewellery pliers

STEP 1

Gather all your materials, making sure that you have one headpin for each bead as well as round nose pliers, chain nose pliers and headpin cutters (or an all in one tool).

STEP 2

Thread each bead onto a headpin.  Cut off excess pin, leaving approximately 1 cm of spare metal.  Create a bead dangle with each bead and headpin, but DON'T close the loop just yet.

STEP 3

Attach one large bead dangle to the central loop (or space in my case) of the chandelier finding and close the loop.  Attach the smaller bead dangles to the remaining loops on your chandelier.  Repeat with the other earring.

STEP 4

Attach one fishhook earwire to the top of each chandelier, and that's it, you've got yourself a pair of swishy and sparkly earrings that will brighten your day, quite literally!
