Step 4. When you open a ring, do not try to separate the two parts, because you weaken the ring

Open it perpendicular to the plane of the ring and then bring the two parts back to the same plane to close it.

Advice

For a more refined look, replace the silver bead at the base of the hook spiral with a matching bead

  • Keep the earrings away from children and pets who may swallow them.
