The metal elements that make up the pair of earrings are gold-plated stainless steel, except for the flower rondelles, although a gold-plated stainless steel option is available. This choice was made to offer you a basket of products at an attractive price. If you still wish to make your golden earrings in stainless steel only, you'll find the version of the 4 mm flower rondelles in gold-plated stainless steel in the variation section of the equipment list. You'll need a total of twelve flower washers to make both earrings, depending on the model.
Stainless steel is a non-oxidizing metal. These primers are made of 316L stainless steel. This stainless steel is even more resistant to corrosion and seawater than 304, for example. So you can make earrings that last. Find out more about the different types of steel used in jewelry in this article. Crystal beads are also highly resistant. So you can wear these chic gold earrings for an evening out, as well as for a summer's day.
Cut 25 cm of nylon thread. Thread it through one of the holes next to the center hole of the ear stud. Fold in half. Thread 9 round, faceted 3 mm beads onto both ends of the thread at the same time.
Pass one end of the wire through the hole on the other side of the center hole. Tie the two ends together with a double knot. Iron the thread ends into three beads to hide them. You can use a slotted needle to do this. Trim off the excess thread.
This time, cut 40 cm of wire and thread it through the other hole. Fold it in half and thread on ten 3 mm round faceted beads, three gold flower rondelles, one 6 mm round faceted bead, three flower rondelles, ten 3 mm round faceted beads.
Tie the thread ends as in step 2, then thread them through three beads and trim the excess. Apply glue to the knots to prevent them from unravelling. You can use a toothpick to apply the glue more precisely.
Open a ring with two round-ended or flat-ended jewelry pliers. To do this, don't pull the ring opening apart, as this will deform the ring. You need to rotate the two ends of the ring in opposite directions. Add the charm to the ring and pass the ring through the center hole of the nail. Close the ring by rotating the ends again. At the end, turn back and forth to position the two ends of the ring face to face, leaving no gaps.
