Sexy Summer Earring by Jamie Hogsett

My good friend Christine stopped by the other night with her family after they went out for a fancy celebration dinner. Christine was wearing a great little black dress and some of the coolest shoes ever. She spotted these earrings -- they just came back to me from Stringing magazine and were still sitting on my kitchen counter -- and put them on. The pale green Lucite beads really made her blue/green eyes pop and, her husband and I agreed, she looked hot! So, I'm pretty sure these earrings will get passed along to Christine. However, in case you want a pair of your own:

Materials:
2 black 10mm Czech pressed-glass rounds
2 pale green 10mm Lucite rounds
2 Arte Metal 14x38mm Etruscan Navette charms
1 pair silver ear wires
6" of black 22-gauge Craft Wire
6" of non-tarnish silver 22-gauge Craft Wire

Tools:
Cutters
Chain- nose pliers
Round-nose pliers

Finished Size: 3 3/8"

Step 1: Use 3" of non-tarnish silver wire to form a wrapped loop that attaches to 1 charm. String 1 black pressed-glass round and form a wrapped loop.
Step 2: Use 3" of black wire to form a wrapped loop that attaches to the previous wrapped loop. String 1 pale green Lucite round and form a wrapped loop that attaches to 1 ear wire.
Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to make a second earring.
