Pink & Yellow Faceted Gem Dangle Earrings
A matched mirrored pair of large faceted-gem (brilliant-cut diamond) drop earrings. Each drop is a glossy yellow face framed by a coral-pink web: an outer rim, a horizontal table band near the top, and radiating dividers that split the yellow into about six facet cells. Small white painted highlights sit in two or three upper facets to read as gem sparkle. Each drop hangs front-facing from a gold jump ring below a separate glossy royal-blue round stud topper. The surface is high-gloss with crisp color breaks between the pink lines and yellow fills.

About this build kit
Treat this as a starting point for a test piece, not a finished spec. AI may help explore design directions, organize notes, and draft parts of this guide. Clay brands, ovens, glues, finishes, and hardware behave differently, so check product instructions and test on scrap before making a batch. Measurements, spacing, and timing are estimates from the reference images. Test them on scrap before making a batch. Some product links on this page are affiliate links.

These are big, glossy faceted-gem drop earrings: a sunny yellow diamond face wrapped in a coral-pink web (the outer rim, a horizontal table band across the top, and radiating dividers between six yellow facet cells), with a few small white painted highlights for sparkle. Each drop hangs from a gold jump ring under a separate glossy royal-blue stud topper, and it is a matched mirrored pair. There is more than one proven way to get that pink-on-yellow facet look, so this guide lays out three slab methods, then shares the same finishing, baking, and finding steps. Roll thin so the drops stay light, bake flat so they do not warp, and round the cut edges so they sit comfortably.
Build kit answer
This is a printable polymer clay build kit for making the faceted gem earrings shown here. The page shows the shape, supply categories, rough build flow, and what comes in the kit. The full kit guide keeps the measurements, checks, print notes, and fixes.

Build method
Two ways to make this piece
This is the making method, not the checkout. With the kit, you follow the matched cutter files and the build guide. By hand, you can still study the piece and work from tracing maps, measuring and testing more yourself. The ways to own the kit live in the purchase panel.

Your build flow
- Fastest path to a matched pair
- Less guesswork on facet spacing
- Best when you want repeatable results
The full kit guide holds the exact hand moves, thicknesses, checkpoints, watch-outs, print settings, and troubleshooting path. This page stays at preview level.

Use your own tools
Slower, more setup timeYou can still build the look with blades, templates, and careful measuring if you skip the cutters.
What you'll need
- A sharp tissue blade and a steady straight-edge ruler
- Card-stock or acetate templates traced from the lookbook
- Pasta machine or roller for repeatable slab thickness
- Extra scrap clay for facet and thickness test cuts
What to expect
- Expect more layout time
- Test facet angles on scrap first
- Keep the pair matched by eye and feel
Using your own tools from the public page means studying the finished reference and measuring by hand. If you buy the digital kit but do not print the cutters, the SVG maps give you cleaner tracing templates.

Build sequence
The build flow at the setup
These cards show the order of the build. The full kit guide gives the measurements, hand action, checkpoints, watch-outs, and fixes for each step.
Steps
- 01
Shape the gem bases
Prepare the base colour, cut the main drops, and keep the pair matched before adding detail.
- 02
Layer the facet frame
Add the frame and facet colour layers so the gem shape stays crisp at earring scale.
- 03
Add highlights and toppers
Place the small highlight pieces and topper elements before the pieces move to the bake flow.
- 04
Cure, finish, and assemble
Bake flat, cool fully, add an optional clay-safe shine, and connect the jewellery findings.
Bake + finish
Bake profile
Bake according to the clay package and verify your oven with a thermometer. The kit guide gives the profile notes for this build and where to test on scrap before making a batch.
Adhesive
Use a jewellery adhesive after the piece has cooled. The guide covers finding placement and cure-time checks for this build.
Finish
Test any gloss, satin, matte, or varnish finish on baked scrap first. The full guide notes the finish route used for this build without treating one finish as universal.
Findings
- Gold jump rings between topper and gem drop
- Flat pad posts or hooks matched to your design
