Trio of vintage earrings and ear clips

As we all know, fashion is an eternal do-over. But even if we borrow the style of our parents or grandparents for a season, it's always with a touch of contemporary materials or forms. The mix of old and new styles produces a vintage, classic and chic style.

It is with this idea in mind that we offer you these three pairs of DIY earrings. Shapes and patterns inspired by the 60's and 70's are mixed with mother-of-pearl and irregular freshwater pearls to create softness but also a kind of opulence. Bling-bling jewelry but not too much! In the same way the retro ball ear clips are associated with round XL pendants made of small triangular cabochons with rounded corners to give a more organic style.

These ear clips can be replaced by ear studs. The round black and gold pendants are a little heavy. You can also replace them with a smaller size of round 31 mm pendant in gold and black or gold and multicoloured.

Tutorial steps

Step 1
Trio of vintage earrings and ear clips : Step 1

These earrings are very easy to make yourself. It will only take you 1 minute to open the rings attached to the ear clips, slide the gold-plated pendants into them and close the rings by making a slight back and forth movement at the end to position the two ends edge to edge. Use two flat or round pliers for this. Hold the ring with one pair of pliers and rotate one side of the ring to enlarge the opening with another pair of pliers. Don't spread the two ends apart, make sure you rotate them well. If you spread them apart you risk at best to deform the ring and at worst to break it or unhook it from the ear clip.

Step 2

The second pair of earrings that we offer is not much more complicated but has a little more DIY jewelry elements to link together. Start by opening two rings using two pliers and rotating the edges as described above. Pass one ring through the earring and then thread the mother-of-pearl sequin and dragonfly over the sequin. Pay attention to the direction and then close the ring.

Step 3

The difficulty is slightly increased with a few more steps for this jewel tutorial. Open the creole by gently pulling on the loose part of the wire. You can see it on the back of the creoles. One side of the wire is flattened by the nozzle and the other side is simply passed through the nozzle. Then thread 1 golden bead, 3 Miyuki baroque seed beads size 6/0 and repeat this bead sequence.

Step 4

As for the previous earrings, open a ring and slide the ear stud and the creoles into it and then close the ring. Then add the dragonfly charm with a new ring.
