Drop earrings are the perfect way to add some sparkle to any ensemble, whether you’re looking to dress up jeans and a t-shirt or simply want to bring out the color of your eyes with some beaded drop earrings. They’re elegant, stylish, and easy to wear, but did you know that you can make them from scratch? All it takes is some basic supplies and a few easy steps, which we’ll show you here! We’ll show you how to make drop earrings with gemstone beads.
Step 1: Pick a pair of earring hooks
Pick a pair of earring hooks that suit your earring design. For example, if you want to make drop earrings, choose a pair of round-shaped gemstone beads hook. If you are going for a daintier, classic look, choose a pair of small hooks. A long hook is better suited for making post earrings because it will give you more room to work on the back. Choose two pairs of matching or complimentary-shaped hooks that are made from durable materials like sterling silver or gold plated metal.
Step 2: String your beads on wire
To string your wholesale gemstone beads on wire, you will need a piece of wire, jewelry pliers, and your gemstones. First, measure and cut the wire so that it is long enough for the drop earring you want. Next, put your beads on the wire, and then use the pliers to wrap each bead tightly around the strand of wire. You can also use glue or crimping beads if you want your earrings to stay together better. If you are using crimp beads, simply thread them onto the end of your wire and attach them to each other by squeezing them together. If you are using glue, take a small dab of it and apply it evenly to both strands before putting them back together. Lastly, bend one end at an angle in order to attach an earring hook (or head pin) for hanging purposes.
Step 3: Attach Earring Hooks to The Other End
Cut the wire to the desired length. Thread it through the earring hooks and pull it tight to secure them. Attach the other end of the wire to a bead by wrapping it around the top and threading it through. Pull tight to secure. Continue until you have a row of stone beads. Wrap the wire around all of them and then thread back up through one of the beads in order to create loops for each earring hook. Push down on each loop to set it in place, and then tuck in any excess wire at either end so that it can't catch on anything. It's now time to show off your pretty new drop earrings!
Step 4: Add clasp or hook closure
You can choose from a variety of clasp or hook closures, depending on the style of earring that you want to make. For example, if you wish to drop earrings, then you should attach a hook closure. Alternatively, if you wish to hoop earrings with gemstone beads, then you will need a wire-wrap clasp or spring ring closure.
A clasp is used to fasten an object securely in place by joining two ends together, often made of metal and shaped like an O-ring. Hook clasps are typically used for making drop earrings because they allow for easy adjustment to the length of your necklace by clipping it onto different-sized posts.
