Earring Instructions
Step 1
Use Wubbers® jumbo triangular mandrel pliers to create 14 stainless steel triangles.
Step 2
String a jet bead onto the bottom of a triangle. Apply a small dab of Hypo Tube cement to the join and slide the bead over it. Set the unit aside to cure while preparing the other units. Repeat for all 14 triangles.
Tip: Test the size of the bead hole before applying glue.
Step 3
Attach triangles 1 and 7 to the end bar with one stainless steel jump ring each.
Attach triangles 2 and 6 to the end bar with three stainless steel jump rings each.
Attach triangle 3 and 5 to the end bar with five stainless steel jump rings each.
Attach triangle 4 to the end bar with seven stainless steel jump rings.
Repeat Step 3 for the other earring.
Step 4
Create two simple loop beaded links with stainless steel eye pins and jet beads.
Step 5
Attach a beaded link to the top loop of the end bar.
Step 6
Use a stainless steel jump ring to attach the other end of the beaded link to the lever back ear wire.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other earring.
