For Beginners who might have questions about the the difference between Inside Diameter (ID) and Outside Diameter (OD), here’s a quick image to help you understand it better.

OD-ID

Instructions:

Step 1. Take four closed rings and one open ring. Put the four rings into the open one, and close the ring.

    no sizes for jump rings & seed beads & bicones.

      Marilyn,
      I tried this out, and used the following:
      18 – 7mm 18g closed jump rings
      14 – 7mm 18g open jump rings
      1 – 6mm 18g open jump ring to put the top row on
      2 – 8mm Swarovski bicones
      2 – 4mm Swarovski bicones
      6 – 8/o seed beeads
      I would recommend 6/o as well as I had to ream out a couple of the 8/o seed beads to get them on the jump rings. I would also recommend using smaller jump rings, probably 6mm or 5mm. My earring looks a little loose with 7mm jump rings but still beautiful. I might even try intermixing some twisted jump rings for the center open jump rings to give them more of a sparkle. I think this will be a fun project to try with different sizes and colors of jump rings and beads. I hope this helps you out a little!
