Simple stylish earrings using the Column Pendant
For some time I have been trying to think what to do with these lovely pendants that was a bit different, and well, that was just the problem; I was trying to use them as pendants and incorporate them into necklaces.
So I started to think outside the box, and came up with these really simple Icy looking earrings! The column pendants are Crystal and the bicones are Crystal AB - for a bit of extra sparkle.
I think the key to using the Column Pendant is to know how to form a simple bail, which you can then attach to anything.
To make the earrings in the picture use Sterling Silver or Silver Plated wire in 0.6mm. Cut 5cm of wire, find the centre and grip with the chain nose pliers. Bend both sides of the wire upwards, then with one piece twist around the other wire stem twice and snip the excess. With the other stem, thread on the 4mm Crystal AB bicone and turn a loop above it with the round nose pliers. Then open the loop on the fishhook and slip on the drop. Simple!
These earrings take minutes to make and are perfect for a last minute gift or a glamorous night out. The simple facets on the Column Pendant look elegant yet subtle. The pendant can also move about on the wire so this icy pair really catch the light.
