8.  10 Minute Round Bezel Lever Back Earrings Jewelry Making Project.  This jewelry making project uses our Round Bezel Lever Back Ear Wire Setting (Item 3353) to set a 6mm gemstone.  This is a project that is suitable for a beginner, and requires bent chain nose pliers like our item 4002 to complete the earrings.  Setting the 6mm gemstone in this ear wire finding is very similar to setting a gemstone in our round bezel finding for making a necklace as described in page 8 above.  Step 1:  Position one round, bezel ear wire finding upside down on a table top or other flat surface.  These low wall bezel findings are item 3353 in sterling silver.  Step 2:  Place your gemstone face down in the finding as shown at right. Step 3:  Now  hold the finding and gemstone in place between the thumb and forefinger of your non-dominant hand while you use your bent chain nose pliers to press two opposing tabs flat against the gemstone. Step 4:  Finish setting the stone by pressing the opposite pair of tabs down.  With all four tabs pressed down, then re-visit each tab in turn and gently squeeze it flat against the gemstone.  When completed the setting should appear as shown and the gemstone will be held securely in position by all four tabs in the setting. Make  your second earring using the same steps.  Parts Required: Size Ear Wire Finding Gemstone 6mm Sterling Silver Round Bezel, Leverback Ear Wires, Item 3353 Any pair of 6mm, round gemstones These free jewelry making instructions continue on the next page, page 11.
