Quick Project Steps

These majestic Romanov Earrings feature an elegant pearl delicately balanced in a graceful teardrop loop created with a herringbone stitch.
Put a stop bead on the thread, leaving about two inches at the end. Begin the herringbone stitch by picking up four 11/0 beads. Bring the needle back through the first two beads to create two sets of two beads side by side. Add a 15/0 and sew through the third original bead. Pick up two more 11/0s and sew through bead number four. Add another 15/0 sewing back through bead one. Add two more 15/0s to bead number two.
Watch Allie in the Romanov Earrings tutorial to see how to continue with the herringbone stitch and attach the two ends to form the teardrop shape.
Add a jump ring with seed beads to the top of the teardrop. Sew the pearl into the bottom of the teardrop. Tie off the thread ends and burn down. Add the earwire.
Herringbone is a popular jewelry making technique that results in a beautiful, delicate chain. Romanov earrings are the perfect way to show off your herringbone skills! They're perfect for a night out or a gift for a friend. PotomacBeads has everything you need to make Romanov earrings, including the beads and findings. We also have a great video tutorial that will show you step by step how to make these earrings. So grab your supplies and get started!

Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
