Use this as a maker reference, not a final spec. Before you rely on it, check your clay brand's instructions, seller details, and manufacturer safety guidance for your own setup.
Start with a pink-and-white bullseye cane and a chartreuse oval base, because the image pair shows crisp concentric rings centered on each drop rather than shaved mokume grain. Stretch the cane to an oval profile or apply thin ovalized slices over a flat base, then keep the top hole high enough that the gold ear wires do not cover the center rings.
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.
Condition the chartreuse, pink, and white clay until the sheets roll evenly, then build a simple bullseye cane with pink and white concentric wraps.
Reduce or gently stretch the cane toward an oval profile before slicing so the rings land closer to the long shape from the image pair.
Roll a chartreuse base sheet, place the centered cane slice or veneer on top, and trim both drops from one setup so the ring spacing stays matched.
Refine the outer oval edge, pierce the top hanging holes on the true centerline, and compare the two drops before baking.
Attach the gold ear wires after cure with a short jump ring or direct loop connection so the oval face remains fully visible when worn.
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 hot-pink rings in the bullseye center.
Gets you close to the chartreuse base once it is mixed brighter or warmed with yellow.
Needed for the crisp white ring wraps in the bullseye pattern.
Helps keep the base sheet even before you apply the centered cane veneer.
Makes it easier to repeat the long oval silhouette cleanly.
Useful for trimming the cane slices and refining the oval edge cleanly.
Matches the simple gold ear-wire hardware shown in both images.
Read the technique guides that matter most for building this piece, refining the finish, or avoiding the most common mistakes.
A plain-English guide to polymer clay canes, millefiori, flower canes, reduction, slicing, and when to use a cane over a backing sheet instead of building the whole piece from patterned clay.
Conditioning is not just softening clay. It is how you get cleaner slabs, steadier cane reduction, and sharper cut edges before the piece ever reaches the oven.
Choose polymer clay earring findings by front view, rear contact area, disclosed metal details, attachment method, and finished weight instead of treating one post, glue, or metal as universal.
Explore adjacent builds with similar form, finish, or construction ideas.
Start with posts, glue, and cutters before you obsess over the silhouette. Those three decisions drive clean assembly and fewer failures.

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.
