Start with a dark green teardrop base and a batch of tiny flower cutouts, because the pair reads like raised blossoms pressed onto the front rather than tight millefiori cane slices. Build the drops and the matching flower topper separately, keep the petals thin, then join the sections after baking.
A quick read on the clay method, surface finish, and effort level before you start gathering tools.
Dimensions, motif spacing, and step timing below are build-ready estimates inferred from the reference image and the listed technique. Verify measurements against your own setup before cutting or assembling.
Work in sequence so the form, thickness, surface detail, and finishing stay controlled from prep through bake.
Roll the green base and cut two matching teardrop drops, plus the smaller round or flower bases you need for the top section.
Cut repeated magenta and white flowers, then add yellow centers while the petals are still easy to shape.
Press the flowers onto the green drops with light pressure so they stay raised enough to read without making the earrings too heavy.
Keep the edge clear enough that the teardrop silhouette still shows, then mark the top and bottom hanging points before baking.
Bake the drops flat on a tile, cool fully, and attach them to the flower topper or stud hardware after cure.
Add only a light gloss finish if you want extra shine, because the flower relief is already doing most of the visual work.
Metal findings like posts, hooks, and jump rings may contain nickel or other allergens. If you have sensitive skin, choose surgical steel or titanium findings and test any sealant or coating on a small area before wearing.
Start with the core build kit, then add optional finishing or hardware only if it fits the version you want to make.

Matches the dominant magenta flowers repeated across both drops.
Useful for the white flowers and for lightening small blends without muddying the petals.
Matches the bright yellow flower centers that repeat across the drops.
Gets you close to the deep green base that shows between the flowers.
Useful when you want the repeated blossoms to stay cleaner and more consistent from one earring to the other.
Helps you press the flower centers and shape petals without flattening the whole drop.
Needed to connect the flower topper and the main drop after the clay pieces have cured.
A flat tile helps the drops bake evenly before you add the topper hardware.

Start with glue, post hardware, and hole placement that keep the drop centered, then use cutters to clean up the silhouette.

Many makers reach for a two-part epoxy when they want slower setup time for post placement. Treat every adhesive as a test-first choice, especially if the clay, finding, finish, or prep routine changes.
Use flat-pad posts with clear material specs when you want a common, easy-to-source assembly starting point. If you add titanium, verify the listing details and material spec before you position it as a separate hardware option.
Keep this build handy while you test your own version.
