2. Take head pin and thread on R (1), GSB (1) and using your needle nose and round nose pliers create a small loop you will now thread onto last link in longest chain and then wrap wire, trim, and tamp in pointy ends. * Repeat with second earring.

3. Take head pin and thread on P (1), GSB (1) and attach to the end of mid-size chain and then wrap wire, trim, and tamp in ends. * Repeat with second earring.

4. Take head pin and thread on B (1), GSB (1) and create loop that you will thread onto shortest chain and then finish as before. * Repeat with second earring.

5. Using flat nose and needle nose pliers open jump ring and thread into top link on each of the three chains, keeping order smallest to largest. Close the jump ring being careful that the sides come together and there are no gaps.

6. Open the loop on ear wires and thread the closed jump ring onto ear wire, close carefully.
