I will be making a hematite bead and chip cluster. For this project you will need 4mm hematite beads, hematite chips,
ear wires, 20 gauge wire, pre made jump rings, flush cutters, side cutters, round nosed pliers and flat pliers. You can use any 20 gauge wire you want. I'm using sterling silver.
Start with putting 5 jump rings on both ear wires so they look like this.
Here are are both ear wires after 5 jump rings have been attached to them. These will hold the beads and chips so make sure they are secure.
Now take your 4mm beads and make a curled end just a little smaller than the bead. These will hold them on the chain. You can also use any other way to hold the bead this just give it a nice touch.
On the other side make a eye loop. You will use this to attach the bead to the chain. Make the loop big enough to put 20 gauge wire through.
Make 4 beads that look close to each other. You will need 2 for each earring.
Now take 4 hematite chips and do the same thing. Make sure the chips arent too big or it wont look balanced. These might take awhile because they are small so dont worry.
Now once you have finished all of the beads and chips you can attach them to the chain on the ear wire. leave the first ring empty and start with the scond. I put a bead first.
Then on the next ring put the opposite of whatever you put on the first ring.
Then do the same for the next two rings. Make sure you do the same pattern on the other earring so they match.
Here are the finished earrings.
