I was inspired to make these earrings by one of my coworkers. This earring is one 7 inch earthread that is wrapped through both holes. I considered different combinations of beads and pendants before deciding on the Swarovski hearts and faceted rounds. Because it is all one piece, you can adjust the length in different spots, or change the beads, to create a new unique earring.
