Glisten like the glamour days of old Hollywood!
A single Swarovski crystal teardrop—sparkling in aurora borealis (rainbow) or champagne coatings —swings from a slim length of sterling chain and our sleek threader ear wire. Mix and match the Figure-8, Bar-&-Link, or Cheerio chain segments to create a staggered set, then finish each crystal with an easy pinch bail. The result? Lightweight movement, serious sparkle, and a timeless vintage vibe that dresses up anything from denim to evening wear.
Learn essential techniques suitable for advancing beginners and seasoned crafters, including attaching pinch bails and a clever trick using a custom figure-eight connector to make your dangles hang perfectly forward.
