Instructions
Step 1
Use the Chain Nose Pliers to pull open the teeth of the Stirrup Bail,the easiest way to do this is to put the nose of the pliers inside the mouth of the bail and then push the pliers open with gentle controlled force, this will push the bail open from the inside.
Step 2
Slot the Swarovski crystal pendant between the bails teeth so that the teeth will pass through the hole in the crystal and press the bail closed again with the pliers. The teeth of the bail should (almost) meet in the middle inside the crystal for a secure grip.
Step 3
Using a twisting motion, open the loop at the bottom of the Shepherds Crook Ear Wire using the pliers, thread on the jump ring section of the pendant bail and twist the loop closed again. Avoid pulling the loop open as this weakens the metal and warps the curve of the loop.
Step 4
Repeat all previous steps to complete the other earring and create a matching set.
