Double Chain Drop Stud Earrings

I have been seeing all of these gorgeous chain drop earrings EVERYWHERE! So I just had to do a DIY for you.

I recent saw one designer/blogger has made her a pair that only dropped from the back off the butterfly clutch of her beautiful diamond stud earrings. These earrings have two dangles – one in front and the other off the back clutch of the stud giving you twice the sparkle and twice the swing. These also are super quick to make….so grab some coffee and your supplies and meet me back here.

Instructions

  1. Small 2018 03 07 114633 tools

    Gather up your supplies and tools. The beads I used are CCA Jewelry Basics 5 pc glass/clay beads in black and silver, product number #34716100, but try different colors and style of beads to suit your personal tastes.

  2. Small 2018 03 07 115252 cut%2bchains

    Cut four pieces of chain in the following lengths: 1 inch (2.54 cm) and 3 inches (7.62 cm).

  3. Small 2018 03 07 115316 bead%2bdangles

    Make four bead dangles by threading beads onto the head pins and forming a loop at the end.

  4. Small 2018 03 07 115403 chains%2bon%2bstuds

    Attach the short chain to the loop of the stud. If the opening is too large for your chain, just use an additional 4mm jump ring per earring. Attach the longer chain to the butterfly clutch using a 4mm jump ring.

  5. Small 2018 03 07 115519 black%2bdrops%2b4

    Attach a large bead dangle to the end of the small chain and a smaller bead to the end of the longer chain. Repeat for second earring.
