8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 using the remaining beaded memory wire pieces and small jump rings.
9: Add three of the pearl charms to one of the larger jump rings and attach it to the end of the memory wire ovals. Repeat this for the remaining three pearls and attach them to the other memory wire charm.
10: Add an earring hook to the top of each of the ovals to finish the earrings off.
