We looped seed bead strands and tucked them into a silver cone to create these eye-catching earrings.
These festive dangle earrings are the perfect addition to a hot outfit you can choose to rock in summer or winter. Like the lively New Mexico town, this design has a little something everyone will enjoy.
Cut four strands of gray Fireline thread about a foot long.
String one thread with an alternating pattern of TOHO™ bead rounds in shiny jet black and two matte milk white. String the remaining threads with a single color block—one with opaque dark sky blue, one with opaque sour apple and one with opaque-frosted dandelion.
Fold each strand in half and loop the ends through one 1x2mm sterling silver crimp tube, then through one sterling silver medium closed jump ring then back through the crimp tube. Crimp flat with chain nose pliers.
Connect the closed jump ring to one 2-inch silver-plated 20 gauge eye pin. Thread the pointed end of the eye pin through one JBB sterling silver large wavy cone.
Attach the eye pin to one sterling silver plain lever-back earring by finishing it with a wrapped loop technique.
Repeat these steps to create the second earring.
