Step 1

Tila earrings assembly diagram step 1
Cut the wire in 2 (so 40 cm of wire for a first earring). Thread a Magatama, a rocaille, a 4mm pearl, a rocaille, a Magatama. Then cross the wires in a "rocaille + Magatama + rocaille" set.
"Crossing the wires" means that one wire passes through this set of 3 beads, then the other wire passes through the same beads but in the opposite direction, thus crossing the first wire. Center the wire by sliding it over the beads, then tighten.

Step 2

Step 2 of Miyuki earring assembly
Add a Magatama on each wire, followed by a seed bead. Cross the wires in a 4mm bead.

Step 3

Earrings assembly step 3
Add 2 seed beads on each thread, then a Beige Tila (each thread passing through a hole in the Tila), then a seed bead on each thread, a Golden Tila, a seed bead on each thread, a Beige Tila, a seed bead on each thread. Cross in a seed bead. Tighten the threads.
Mounting after wire clamping

Step 4

Fitting the earring ring
Pass the wires together through a 4mm bead, then through a seed bead and finally through a ring. The wires pass through the seed bead, the 4mm bead, cross each other in the seed bead and then pass through a seed bead and the beige Tila. Under the Tila, make a double knot in front of a hole in the Tila, pass one of the wires through it and pull gently so that the knot catches in the Tila. Cut the wires flush.
Finishing the earring
Open the ring (from the side, using flat-nose pliers) and pass it through the loop fastener.
Do the same for the other loop.
