Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual 2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.

Czech Republic glass beads and silver barbell style earrings with Swarovski® crystal bicone bead.

These are easy to make earrings, sliding the beads onto the flathead pin wire, then using needle nose pliers to make the eyepin at upper end of the flathead pin wire.

Be sure to place the closed jump ring within the eyepin before fully closing the eyepin.

A flat head plier is used to carefully open the earwire for adding a dangle.

Normally this eyepin on the earwire is pre-cut for opening it and attaching a dangle.

Approximate length excluding earwires: 1.25 inches
