Assemble Earrings
  1. Lay out all components to make sure you create a mirror image set of earrings
  2. Start by opening ear wire loops and placing on the S hooks then close them up tight
  3. Now open the bead top loop and place this onto the bottom of the S hooks and close tight
  4. Make any adjustments needed to have spirals facing forward on the bead drop
