General Tips
To make elegant earrings, it is suggested to use Czech beads combined with Swarovski pearls. The color of these beads are slightly shiny, therefore some people call it silky beads. The jewelry makers would love to have the shapes and sizes variant, too. Thanks to the double holes, it is possible to make more connections with the other beads.

- 36 pieces of seed beads (size eight)
- 25 mm thick monofiliment thread as needed

- 1 pair of earring hooks
- 1 small pliers
