Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Design & Planning

  • Sketch the earring shape, ensuring a balanced arrangement of pearls and gemstones.
  • Decide on earring dimensions and materials.

2. Preparing the Metal Base

  • Use wax carving or CAD modeling to create a mold for casting the circular base and bow.
  • Cast the metal using gold-plated brass, sterling silver, or solid gold.
  • Polish the metal frame to remove imperfections.

3. Setting the Stones and Pearls

  • Drill small holes or create prong settings for the cubic zirconia stones.
  • Secure the stones using prong or bezel settings.
  • Attach the pearls using a strong jewelry adhesive or a secure pin mechanism.

4. Assembling the Earring

  • Connect the bow element to the circular frame by soldering or using a small loop.
  • Attach the earring post or hook at the back.

5. Polishing & Finishing

  • Clean the earrings with a polishing cloth.
  • Apply a protective coating to prevent tarnish (for gold-plated designs).
  • Check for secure fittings of all gems and pearls.

6. Quality Check & Packaging

  • Inspect for symmetry and defects.
  • Package in a soft jewelry box for protection.
