Prepare Materials: Gather your 4mm pearls, 4mm bicone beads, 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads, dragon thread, and needle.
Create the Base: String six 11/0 seed beads and tie a knot to form a loop. Pass through the first two beads and add three more 11/0 seed beads. Repeat until you have a hexagonal base.
Add Bicones: Thread a bicone bead and pass through the next three seed beads. Repeat around the entire hexagon.
Embellish with Pearls: Between each bicone, add a 4mm pearl flanked by a 15/0, 11/0, and 15/0 seed bead.
Shape the Earring: Add five 15/0 seed beads between the embellishments, and pull tight to create a pointed effect. Secure by passing through the beads again.
