Step 1: Cut a 2 foot piece of wire. Give yourself a 1 1/2" tail and wrap the wire four times around the left side bend in the copper diamond dangle. Slide one 3mm crystal onto the wire, wrap the wire around the diamond once. Slide a bronze glass rondell onto the wire and wrap the wire twice around the diamond. Slide another bronze bead onto the wire and wrap the wire once around the diamond.

Step 2: Continue following this pattern: a crystal one wrap, a bronze bead one wrap, a crystal one wrap, a 4mm mint round two wraps, a bronze bead two wraps, a mint bead two wraps, a bronze bead two wraps, a mint bead one wrap, a crystal one wrap, a bronze bead one wrap, a crystal one wrap, a bronze bead two wraps, a bronze bead one wrap, a crystal four wraps.

Step 3: Trim the two ends of wire. Using chain nose pliers pinch the ends of the wires so they are tight against the diamond. Attach an earwire to the top loop of the diamond. Repeat for the second earring.

The End!
