These earrings use a length of chain as the base for all the dagger beads to dangle from creating the cluster. It will take a little patience to attach all the dagger beads but the finished earrings are well worth the effort. Make these your own by swapping out the blue and green shades with the colours of your choice.

Open half of the 4mm jump rings.
Connect seven 4mm jump rings to form a chain.
Open a 6mm jump ring and slide on a frosted aqua dagger bead. Attach the jump ring to the bottom link of the chain.
Pick up two 4mm jump rings and slide an aqua dagger onto each one. Hook one on either side of the first dagger.
Pick up four jump rings and slide an aqua dagger onto each one. Hook two of these onto the left hand side of the sixth link of the chain and two onto the right hand side.
Repeat the previous step, adding a pair of daggers to each side of the fifth link of the chain.
To make it easier to handle the chain, attach the earring wire to the top link. Add a pair of milky green daggers to each side of the fourth and third links.
Add a pair of transparent green beads to each side of the second and first links of the chain. Make a matching earring with the remaining components.
