DIY | Simple earrings

Here you find a little collection of simple, elegantly shaped earrings made with jewellery parts from Smyks.com which are very easy to make. We have combined round and cubic shapes in different ways and thereby created interesting contrasts.

Let this collection inspire you to play around with various shapes and materials – or just to copy the combinations presented in this blog. All the jewellery components are available in sterling silver, oxidised sterling silver and gilded sterling silver

We also have cube beads and half-drilled beads in numerous colours, sizes and materials in stock. You can find more design ideas, DIY tutorials and pictures of necklaces, bracelets  and earrings with cube beads in our  earlier blog article Jewellery with cube beads.

Open earwires with gilded tube

To assemble these earwires we used the following materials:

• 1 pair of P-shaped earwires, oxidised sterling silver
• 2 curved tubes, gilded brass 24x2mm
• jewellery glue

Apply a bit of adhesive on the lower part of the earwire. Slide the tube carefully on it. If you have applied a bit too much of glue, remove the excess adhesive as soon as possible.

Open earwires with cube beads

To assemble these earwires we used the following materials:

• 1 pair of P-shaped earwires, oxidised sterling silver
• 2 cube beads, red sunstone
• 2 straight tubes, gilded brass, 13 x 1.5mm
• jewellery glue

First, you slide the tubes on the earwires. Next, you glue the ends of the earwires into the cube beads.

Earthreads with vesuvianite and green amethyst

To assemble these earrings we used the following materials:

• 1 pair of earthreads with to pegs, gold-plated silver, 12cm
• 2 cube beads, vesuvianite
• 2 half-drilled beads, green amethyst, 6mm
• 2 crimp beads, gold-plated sterling silver
• jewellery glue

These earwires have a peg on either end. You slide one of the ends through the cube bead and push the cube bead to the other end – but not completely. Now you apply adhesive on the tip of the peg and glue it into the half-drilled bead.

Ohrketten mit Labradorit und Zirkonia

To assemble these earwires you need the following materials:

• 1 pair of earthreads with peg and eyelet, gold-plated sterling silver, 8cm
• 2 cube beads, labradorite
• 2 eyepins with cubic zirkonia, gilded sterling silver
• jewellery glue

Glue the eyepin into the cube bead. Open the eyelets of the earthread carefully, insert the eyepin and close the eyelet again carefully.
