Using Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive Video Tutorial

Slide a 6mm briolette bead in Pacific Opal onto a 2-inch satin Hamilton gold-plated 20 gauge eye pin, followed by a TierraCast gold-plated pewter 10mm hammered tube bead, and another briolette bead. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.

Open the eye of the eye pin and attach the cushion charm. Close the eye.

Open the loop of the TierraCast 14K/20 gold-filled earwire with small loop and attach it to the wrapped loop at the top of your earring. Close the loop.
