Make your own Pearl earrings



The pearl earrings are the best addition to your wardrobe. They work well with the outfit designed to go to the mall with or the one for the red carpet. However you do not have to spend much in acquiring the pair of the earring that captured your fantasy since you can make it yourself. To begin with look for wire wrapping tool, freshwater pearls, sterling silver, needle nose pliers, gold filled wire, wire cutter and needle file.

Begin by designing how you want your dangling earring to look alike. The pearls can be found in different colors, shapes and sizes. So you can use different colors or different sizes to make the pearls earrings to your preferences. You can choose a square shaped pearl or tear drop shape, Keisha style, grayish tone or pinkish tone. It will totally be up to you to decide which one to choose.

After this you have to get together all the equipment you will need, including commercial or handmade head pins, commercial or handmade ear wire, and the pearls in the numbers, sizes, and shapes you want. If you do not know how to make headpins or ear wire then you can learn how to make them or choose to use commercial ones.

If you have everything then you will have to make the pearl earring according to the design you have made. When you finish you will have to put on the headpin and to wrap the loop three times to make sure that it is secure. If you have finished you will have to trim the excess wire and to file ends if they are rough. You have to make sure that you know all the steps you have taken since you will have to repeat them for the second earring. Alternatively, you can make both earrings simultaneously.

Even if you can make the pearl earrings at your own, the one meant for commercial use may be more aesthetic. You can also make a necklace to match the Pearl earrings. If you want, you can consider to buy cubic zirconia earrings since they can be used in most special occasions.
