Go-Go Link Dangle Earrings

What this is

Linked dangle earrings with matching modular cutters

Linked dangles are unforgiving when the repeated pieces are a little different. This kit gives you printable cutters for the disc, open hex link, and triangle drop. The clean cutters are the default build, where you cut the shape then mark and pierce or drill the connector holes by hand, and the fixed-hole (all-in-one) earring alternates cut the connector holes at the same time as the shape for a no-drill route. The paid guide keeps the exact build order and hardware sizes, while this page shows the file families, how the build flows, and the checks a maker should expect before wearing or selling a long dangle pair.

Your cutter map

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

Four cuts and an assembly: disc, hex links, triangle, then rings. A long pair only hangs straight when the repeated links match, so the cutters handle the repetition and the paid guide keeps the exact link order and hardware sizes.

1. 

   Step 1 - disc cutter

   Cut the top disc links

   Prepare the top disc pieces in the chosen colour and check that the connector route matches the hardware plan before baking.

2. 

   Step 2 - window link cutter

   Cut the open hex links

   Cut the repeated middle links with the hex-window cutter and keep them identical so the finished column hangs straight.

3. 

   Step 3 - drop cutter

   Cut the triangle drops

   Cut the lower triangle pieces and keep the pair mirrored before the parts move into the bake and finish flow.

4. 

   Step 4 - hardware assembly

   Assemble the linked pair

   After baking and cooling, test the swing, weight, and connector closure before wearing or selling the finished link dangle earrings.

Before you start

What you bring

Yellow, pink, and blue clay cover the five modules in each earring. Add a 3D printer or print service for the cutters, two pairs of pliers with your jump rings and studs, and a pin vise or fine drill if you take the clean-cutter route.
