The instructions for "Crowns of Ararat" include the earrings, the double-row cuff bracelet, and a single-row thin bracelet variation. Make one piece or the complete set! Each is a spectacular piece you can wear with joy and pride.
Use these clearly written instructions to make fabulous earrings with a Swarovski bezel-set crystal at the center and either the richly textured crystal- or pearl-encrusted cuff bracelet or the thin bracelet.
