Welcome jewellery making professionals! If you're looking for inspiration for your next jewellery design and likely best seller at any time of the year, consider making Eden Green Pearl earrings using Swarovski Pearls and complimentary beads from Bluestreak Crystals. Green and gold is a classic colour combination in multiple cultures and they're wonderfully easy to make. Follow the easy step by step instructions below, to create your very own set of Eden Green Pearl earrings.
Swarovski Crystals are only available to select brands and businesses, who accept that the purchase of Swarovski components does not allow them to use the Swarovski brand name to market their products. These businesses must also be using Swarovski Crystals to create a finished product and not using them loose as part of a service. If you are willing to accept the brand restrictions and sign a Brand Control Agreement with Swarovski, you can apply via our website to become a Swarovski Approved Customer and we as a Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner will then be able to supply you with the full range of Swarovski crystal beads via the Bluestreak Crystals website.

Step 1
Thread the pearl and beads in the right order onto the headpin
The gold-plated headpin is going to form the body of the earring, with the flat head preventing the pearl and beads from sliding off the bottom. Thread the components onto the headpin, starting with the 5810 Eden Green Pearl, followed by the smooth gold-plated bead and finally the tiny light green Preciosa seed bead at the top.
Step 2
Secure the bead and create a loop
Use Chain Nose Pliers to bend the head pin at a right angle just above the seed bead, this will stop the beads and pearl from sliding off the pin. Then use Round Nose Pliers to loop the headpin back on itself into a small circle and cut off the rest of the wire with Side Cutters, giving you a closed loop similar to a jump ring. This on its own, is essentially a pendant and at this point it could be attached to earrings or onto a chain to become a necklace.
Step 3
Attach the ear wire
Using a combination of the round nose and chain nose pliers, gently twist open the loop at the bottom of the Fishhook Ear wire, then thread the pendant onto the opened loop. Be sure to always twist the loops open and closed and never pull them open as that will make the loop more likely to break in the future.
Step 4
Create a matching pair
Repeat steps 1 to 3 to create the second Eden Green Pearl earring and complete the set.
You've just made a pair of beautiful green and gold pearl earrings using Swarovski Pearls and complimentary beads. Feel free to change the colours and styles of the beads and crystals to make your own variations that we are confidents your customers are going to love!
