How to make
First, cut a piece of jasseron chain and a piece of copper wire. Then start wrapping a piece of copper wire around the earring, after 5 strokes take the role chain and include it in your next 2 strokes. By which it becomes attached to your earring. Then you do another 5 strokes on just the earring, and then another 2 on the rolo chain and earring together. With the rolo chain you always skip 1 link, so it will sit nicely straight as shown in the picture. Repeat this step until you have finished the whole chain, when you are done you wrap a few times around the earring and cut the copper wire. Make sure you press it firmly against the earring, the cut off piece can be sharp.
Next, grab a new piece of copper wire and wrap it again a few times at the beginning of your already wrapped copper wire. Then you go through the piece of rolo chain, and then grab a faceted bead, Then you go through the next chain and grab a spacer bead. You repeat this step and alternate between the faceted beads and the spacer beads. At the end, you wrap around the earring again a few times and cut the copper wire.
