Pink Passion Flower Earrings

The step-by-step photo project to make these stylish pink and black earrings comes to us from an expert in chain maille jewelry, Lauren, The Chain Maille Lady. The earrings have a bit of 80s chic, which is so hot right now.

Supplies:

• 28 Black EPDM 18g 3/16” (4.76mm) rubber jump rings
• 48 Pink Enamel Coated Copper, also known as Artistic Wire, 19g 1/8” (3.18mm) jump rings

Steps:

1. Open all 48 pink jump rings.
2. Take an open pink ring, add 4 black rings, close pink ring. Add another pink ring in the same manner.
   
   
    
3. Take an open pink ring and add it to one of the sets of black rings, before closing, add 2 black rings, double the pink ring.
   
   
    
4. Using the open pink rings, add 4 more sets of black rings to the center black rings, forming a flower.
   
   
    
5. Join 2 petals together using 2 pink rings.
   
   
    
6. Continue joining petals together until all the black petals are hooked together.
   
   
    
7. Add ear wires directly to one of the black petals (L) or add additional pink rings to join the flower to the ear wire (R).
