Making a Square Chandelier Earring with Chain --
An Advanced Beginner's Jewelry Making Technique -- Page 5

Step 15:  Now we need to make a jump ring to connect between the top of the earring body and the ear wire.  Use about 2 " of 20 gauge wire and make two jump rings.  You can find instructions for how to make a jump ring here.

Step 16:  Hanging the chains from the "V" shaped wire component will be accomplished with figure 8 connectors.  Use about 1 1/2" of 20 gauge wire to make each figure 8 connector.  You will need to make a total of four figure 8 connectors for each earring.  You can find instructions on how to make figure 8 connectors here. 

Step 17:  Now we are ready to set our gemstones into our low wall bezel findings.  Use Item 3209 and item 3210 for gold-filled or item 3211 and item 3212 for sterling silver.  Select a pair of 10mm round gemstones and a pair of 8mm round gemstones here.  Setting the gemstones in the low wall bezel finding is very easy and only requires your thumb and forefinger.  You can find our instructions for how to set these stones into these findings here.  Set all four stones into the low wall bezel findings. 

Step 18:  Cut two segments of medium commercial chain each 3" long and two more segments each 4 1/2" long.  Item 2606 in gold-filled or item 2613 in sterling silver are recommended.  Attach a figure 8 connector to each end of each segment of chain.  This is done using your bent chain nose pliers and opening the loop on the figure 8 connector, making the connection, then closing the loop.  You can find instructions on opening and closing loops here.
