Introduction & Materials

I think these earrings look like a princess would wear them, thus the name. They are simple to create, and you only need a few inches of wire and beads.
You’ll need:

4 inches of sterling 22-gauge wire
2 sterling ear hooks
2 4mm crystal beads
2 8mm hematite beads
Round-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Jewelers’ files

Begin Wire Curl

1. Start by cutting your wire into two pieces that are 2 inches long each.

2. Use a file to smooth booth ends of each wire piece.

3. Make a small curl on the end of one of the wires using round nosed pliers.

Continue Wire Curl

4. Continue to curl the end a few more times.

Add Beads to Wire

5. Now slip on an 8mm hematite bead and a 4mm crystal bead. My crystals have a slight pink tint to them.

Start Wire Loop

6. Now bend the wire into an "L" shape.

7. Use round nosed pliers to curl the "L" part of the wire around the nose of your pliers.

8. Keep your round nosed pliers through the loop you’ve made in the previous step, and use chain-nosed to wrap the wire around itself to form a wrapped loop.

9. Now just add one of the sterling hooks.
10. Repeat the above step to make another earring to match.

You could use base metal wire and findings also to create this look, but I figured a princess would wear sterling or maybe even gold.
