How to make chandelier earrings:
Chandelier earrings add a classic touch to any outfit. You can adjust the length and style of the earrings to suite your personality and outfit. You will need some chandelier components that are available in a wide variety of styles.
Each component will create a different look even though you use the same beads as shown below.
What you need:
Step 1:
Make both earrings step-by-step together. Follow the steps for making a double eye pin using one crystal bead as described on the page

Step 2:
When your double eye pin is ready, open one of the loops with your round nose pliers and slide the earring hook onto the loop. Close the loop completely.
Step 3:
Again open the other loop of the double eye pin with your round nose pliers, and slide the top of the chandelier component onto the loop. Close the loop completely.
Step 4:
Take 3 headpins and slide one crystal onto each headpin. You can add a small spacer bead for the central headpin.
Step 5:
Follow the steps for making a loop on a headpin as described on the page
headpin loop.
Make loops for all three headpins using your round nose pliers.
Step 6:
Take the central headpin and open the loop slightly with your round nose pliers. Attach it to the central, bottom part of the component. Close the loop completely.
Step 7:
Attach the other two headpins to the remaining parts of the component the same way you’ve attached the first one. Your earrings are now ready to wear!
