The use of shell heart or other metal charm to form a centre focal drop really adds the finishing touch to these earrings. Try experimenting for different looks.
Step One
Take a length of nylon coated wire approx 3 inch long. Thread on a seed bead, cats eye bead, seed bead, crystal and Shell heart or other charm bead. Now reverse pattern to complete.

Using a crimp bead, crimp the two ends of wire together to create a tear-drop shape. Now attach a calotte to hide the crimp and attach an ear-wire. Repeat process for other earring.
