Three Stone Earrings
by Helen I. Driggs

These earrings combine classic faceted ovals, flat backed stone beads, and freeform cabochons. The hardest part about making the earrings is fabrication of the step bezels. Once you’ve done all the fabrication, sweat soldering the wire on the back is so simple and surprisingly fast.
