Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Open a sterling silver 4.60mm open jump ring and slide on a 11mm briolette pendant in Provence Lavender. Close the jump ring. Set aside for now.

Cut an arm's length of thread and add a stopper bead to the thread, leaving a six-inch tail. Add a 5mm round pearl in White and a 3mm XILION bicone in Provence Lavender. Then, go through one stringing hole of a Czech glass 6x6mm 3-hole pastel light sapphire trinity bead. Add a 3mm faceted round in Provence Lavender to the thread, followed by a pearl, a faceted round, a trinity bead, a bicone, a pearl and the sterling silver 3mm fine closed jump ring.

Go back through the pearl, cinching the jump ring tight to the top of the pearl. Then, mirror the bead pattern from the previous step, making sure to just go through another hole in the trinity beads instead of adding more. When you add the last 3mm bicone, instead of adding another pearl, just go through the same pearl at the bottom of the pattern.

Add the jump ring holding the briolette pendant to the thread. Loop the thread around the jump ring a couple of times and then go back through the pearl. Match the bead pattern again. Go through the pearl at the top and loop your thread through the jump ring a couple of times to secure it. Then, thread through a row of beads to reach the end pearl with the briolette pendant dangling below.

Remove the stopper bead from the thread and tie the two ends of the thread together in a knot. Then, thread them through the pearl to hide the ends. Trim. Open the loop on the sterling silver sparkle French earwire and attach it to the 3mm jump ring at the top of the earring. Close the loop. Repeat steps one through five to create the other earring.
