Create dangling earrings with a stainless steel chandelier and natural stone charms. An easy-to-make tutorial that takes just a few minutes to assemble!
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a pair of easy-to-make earrings—perfect for those just starting out in DIY jewelry making.
These DIY earrings combine powerful symbols with natural materials. The finely crafted gold elements are paired with beads in deep shades of emerald green, creating an elegant contrast.
The eye symbol evokes protection and intuition. Often associated with the “evil eye,” it is traditionally worn as a protective talisman, intended to ward off negative energies and strengthen inner clarity.
The hand, inspired by the protective hand (often called the Hand of Fatima or Hamsa), symbolizes kindness, good fortune, and protection. It is considered a powerful good-luck charm, bringing strength and serenity to the wearer.
The African turquoise and malachite charms, with their deep, natural hues, are associated with balance, harmony, and the heart chakra. They evoke growth, renewal, and emotional calm. Their intense hue adds a touch that is both mysterious and sophisticated.
These earrings are thus much more than a simple accessory: they are true talismanic pieces of jewelry, handmade and designed to combine style, symbolism, and positive energy.
They can be customized in countless ways, so we’ve created two variations: one in shades of green and the other in orange tones with carnelian charms. The natural stone charms are available in many other variations. It’s also possible to replace the earstud; we offer a wide selection of stainless steel earstuds on our website,
Open the top loop of each nail-mounted charm (charm with washers and charm with chip beads) using flat-nose pliers. Slide the ring into the chandelier and close with the pliers.
Assemble the other charms with open rings in the order below, and connect the stud to the chandelier with an open ring.
To balance the pendant, the charm with the chips should be positioned on the ring in the center of the chandelier.
Repeat for the second earring, reversing the 4 charms on either side of the central one.
These earrings can be made in a variety of stones, and we've created a variant with carnelian charms.
