    Quick Project Steps

    Cut a 4-foot piece of DragonThread and thread a size 12 needle. Pick up 4 pearls and tie them into a square formation. Add a 15/0 seed bead, a 2mm bicone, and another 15/0 seed bead, creating an X shape on top of the pearls. Decorate the outside of the pearls with six 15/0 seed beads, creating a bezel look. Connect the decorated pearls into a diamond shape, adding a briolette at the bottom for a cascading effect. Finish the top with a wire guard, adding a professional touch and securing the earring to an earwire. Tie off and burn the thread ends, ensuring a clean and secure finish.
