Pink & Yellow Faceted Gem Dangle Earrings

What this is

A bold gem with crisp, even facets

Most gem cutters only give you an outer border. This kit gives you the full facet web - the outer rim plus all the lines that divide the face into sections - as one connected piece you press into the base. That keeps the divisions even so the gem reads with depth from across the room. The yellow and coral in the photos is just one way to do it. Use whatever colours you have or whatever fits the rest of your collection. Our build kit guide provides the thicknesses, clay notes, bake setup, and the small checks we use as suggestions to build from, not strict rules, so experiment and make it your own.

Every cutter, and the slab it makes

Each cutter is paired with the clay slab it cuts, so you can match a printed cutter to its place in the stack.

How you'll make it

The build, at a glance

The pink facet web goes down in one connected piece, so most of the skill here is in the line-up, not the cutting. These moves are the shape of the build; the paid guide carries the exact measurements and checks.

1. 

   Step 1 - rolling and cutting

   Shape the gem bases

   Prepare the yellow base colour, cut both drops from the same size group, and check that the pair lines up before adding detail.

2. 

   Step 2 - layering

   Layer the facet frame

   Lay the coral-pink facet web over the yellow base so the rim, table line, and dividers stay crisp at earring scale.

3. 

   Step 3 - hardware setup

   Choose the hardware route

   Decide whether this pair gets a drilled hole after baking, the included raw-clay punch helper, a light ready-made blue dome stud, or the optional clay topper.

4. 

   Step 4 - bake and assembly

   Bake, cool, and assemble

   Bake the drops flat, let them cool completely, test any shine on baked scrap, then add the jewellery findings.

5. 

   Step 5 - relief alternate

   Or press the relief route

   Prefer a single-colour or painted pair? Press the facet relief cutter into one slab and paint the pressed channels after baking instead of layering.

Before you start

What you bring

Two firm clays carry this design: a sunny yellow for the base and a coral pink for the facet web, plus gold findings and the buyer-supplied blue dome stud that tops each drop. The kit covers the cutter files and guide; everything below is yours to bring.
