Artisan Style Rhinestone Bezel set and Ear Jacket Faux Pearl Earring Sets with Upcycled Bauble Cluster Rings
I had wanted to come up with something fun for summer, and had been looking at ear jacket style earrings for a while. I decided to take on a classic (pearl) and add something trendy to it for the faux pearl set. I used ring findings and old clip on earrings as the base for the rings. I also love the look of bezel set stones, so decided to do a variant on that as well. One hour of active time and 24 hours of curing for the Sugru makes this project a great quick endeavor.

Step 1
For the first set, get some rhinestones of different sizes and colors.
Step 2
Pick two matching medium size rhinestones and some earring findings.
Step 3
Make balls of Sugru slightly larger than the rhinestone. Press the rhinestone into the ball and press gently onto the earring finding. Let set for 24 hours.
Step 4
Once earring is set you are ready to wear it, a nice little bit of shine and a pop of color.
Step 5
For the ring, get an old costume earring and a ring blank.
Step 6
Cover the ring in Sugru, making sure the layer is thick enough to stick rhinestones into, but not so thick they will get buried.
Step 7
Start to cover in whatever pattern of rhinestones you want to. I used a random pattern wherever they would fit. I also used three different sized rhinestones.
Step 8
When it is all cured 24 hours later, hot glue it to the ring blank and have fun with your bling!
Step 9
For faux pearl earrings, I sketched out a shape of how I wanted the pearls to show- four across- under my ear. I came up with this shape and made two of them.
Step 10
Again, make sure it is thick enough that you can make sure the faux pearls are secure. This will now act as your earring back. Let it cure for 24 hours and then position it on the ear and poke a hole where you want it to stay.
Step 11
The second ring starts the same way and is done in the same manner, only with faux pearls.
Step 12
Use whatever pattern you desire and get creative!
Step 13
Once cured for 24 hours, hot glue onto the ring blank, and you will have a great faux pearl bauble. Lots of fun to wear!
