DIY Drop Earrings

Wearing drop earrings make any dress or a two-piece outfit look elegant. All you will need are beads or pearls along with broken chains to make your drop earrings. Making drop earrings only take a few minutes to do. You can use stud earrings or earring hooks to make your drop earrings. In this tutorial, I used earring hooks to make these drop earrings. 

The first drop earrings are made of pearls and broken gold chains. The second drop earrings are made of pink beads and silver chains. However, you can use any color bead or pearls for your drop earrings. Using the wire wrap technique, you will have fun making these earrings. Here is the tutorial for making these drop earrings. 

Materials: 

4 Broken Chains 

4 Pearls

2 Earring hooks

8 Jump rings

Jewelry pliers

4 Jewelry Head Pins and Eye Pins

 

 

First, find the length that you want the chains to hang on the earrings. Second, cut the first two links of the chain. Third, make sure each chain is the same length and add two chains to each earring hook. Use one jump ring to connect the chains and the earring hooks. Fourth, use a jewelry head pin and insert the pearl. Wrap the two sides of the pin and make sure the pearl stays in the center of the pin. 

Repeat the same step for the second pearl. Fifth, use a jump ring to connect the pearl onto a chain. Repeat the same step for the second chain. Last, use another jump ring to insert the second chain onto the earring hooks. Repeat the same steps for the second earring. One chain will hang down more than the other chain making the two pearls hang in different lengths. 

Materials:

Jewelry Pliers

4 Jewelry Head Pins and Eye Pins

First, cut the broken chains into the same length. Second, insert one head pin with one bead and wrap the two ends of the pin. Make sure the pin stays in the middle of the head pin. Third, insert one jump ring with the bead and one earring hook. Fourth, wrap another bead with another head pin and one small chain on both ends of the pin. Fifth, insert another jump ring with the bead that has the chain onto the bottom of the first bead. Repeat the same steps for the second earring hook. Have a great time making your drop earrings.
