Fanfare Earrings

A statement drop earring featuring a sparkling rivoli centre surrounded by firepolish and rounds, topped with a fancy fan-shaped stud and finished with a graceful pearl drop. Students will learn how to build a dimensional beaded medallion around a rivoli and set it beautifully against a decorative finding — a great class for anyone wanting to level up their earring game with real "wow" factor.. Designed by Paula from On A String.
