Hoops with Sun, Moon and Stars

We used the following components to assemble these earrings:

Hoops, 18mm, gold-plated sterling siver

2 star pendants, 6mm, gold-plated steel

Crescent moon with coloured zirconia, gold-plated brass

Sun pendant with dark pink zirconia, gold-plated brass

approx. 6cm cable chain, gold-plated sterling silver

Miyuki seed beads, rondelles, 2.2x1mm, gilded

Jumprings, 3x0.5mm, gold-plated sterling silver

First, you fasten the stars and the sun pendant to the chains with the help of jumprings. Then, you slide the different parts on the hoop in the order you prefer. The small rondelle beads fill the space in between. 

Hoops with Crescent Moon and Star

Star pendant, 6mm, gold-plated steel

Link, crecsent moon, gold-plated sterling silver

Headpin with 1.5mm pad, gold-plated sterling silver

Eyepin, gold-plated sterling silver

Wire, 0.4mm, gold-plated sterling silver

For this example, we used a headpin to connect the 3 small beads to the crescent moon. We used an eyepin to make a loop and windings for the star. Finally, we coiled wire around the hoop and incorporated the pendants and small beads in an order we liked.

First, you cut the cable chain into two pieces and connect the two pieces with a small freshwater pearl with loops and windings, using 0.4mm wire. In one of the loops you set in a little bead with the help of a headpin. The oblong pendant is fastened to the bottom link of the chain with a jumpring. Finally, you fasten the freshwater pearl pendant and the chain to the eyelet of the hoop with two single jumprings.

The three sequences of beads and pendants are assembled with the help of wire and jumprings. When you are happy with the design of your sequences, you fasten them to the eyelets of the moon pendant with small jumprings. Finally, you hang the upper eyelet of the moon into the loop of the ear wire.
