Want to make these earrings, or a variation for yourself?  Let's get started!

Step 1

Gather your supplies:

• 2 malachite beads.  I used square malachite beads, but any beads that you like will do fine.
• 4 pearl beads.  I used small freshwater silver seed pearls.
• 4 silver spacer beads.  I used Bali daisy spacers.
• 2 sterling silver head pins (fine enough gauge to fit through bead holes).
• 2 earwires, french hooks, leverbacks or posts (your choice)  I used sterling silver french hook ear wires in my design

Step 2

Slide beads onto head pin, and attach to ear wires.

Slide each bead onto a headpin, and make a closed wire loop at the top, fastening the bead to the bottom of your earring component.  I did my beads in this order:

• Pearl bead
• Silver spacer bead
• Malachite bead
• Silver spacer bead
• Pearl bead

   If you need help learning to make a loop, follow these instructions. 

That's it!  Your pretty green malachite earrings earrings are ready to wear!
