Quick Project Steps

These elegant Queen Victoria Earrings add a touch of class. With only a handful of materials, Anna from PotomacBeads will show you how to make these Victorian Era post earrings.
Gather up your Potomac crystal rivoli, Miyuki seed beads, glue-on pad post and clutch back. Using a Beadonit board will help you stay organized!
String on 34 seed beads, thread through the first bead and pull into a loop. Pick up two of the secondary color seed beads and re-thread through the beads in the loop. Repeat with two more. This will form a prong on the ring. Continue by threading through the next four beads in the loop and add the two sets of two beads on top. Repeat around the loop.
