Beaded earring designs for inspiration
What are 1, 2 and 3-drop earrings?
Many beaded earrings are a triangle on top of a straight body: the top starts with a single bead and widens until it reaches the full width, then the body runs straight down, often ending in fringe.
The drop count sets how steep that top is. A 1-drop top adds a bead every row, for a wide, short triangle. A 2-drop top adds one every two rows and a 3-drop top every three, for a longer, narrower point. In Wevy each one is its own grid outline, so the shape is right before you place a bead.
What an earring chart is for
Pairs. Mirror or repeat a design so both earrings match bead for bead.
Fringe and tassel earrings. A shaped top over a long straight body.
Small collections. Several colorways of one shape to sell or gift.
How Wevy handles earrings
The shape comes first
Pick 1, 2 or 3 drops and the stepped outline is laid out for you; beads outside it stay dimmed.
Color for both
Draw one earring, copy it beside the first, then recolor for a new set.
Real beads
Catalog colors with photo-matched finishes, with counts for the pair.

Check the earring's shape and finish before you thread a needle.
Beaded earring pattern questions
What does 1-drop, 2-drop or 3-drop mean here?
It's how many rows the earring's top takes to widen by one bead. 1-drop steps every row, 2-drop every second row, 3-drop every third row, so a higher number gives a longer, narrower top.
How wide should an earring be?
The earring grids start 8 beads wide with a 20-row body. Change both to suit your bead size and the length you want.
Can I add fringe?
Yes. Extend the chart below the body and draw each fringe strand bead by bead.
Are the earring grids free?
The 1-drop earring grid is part of the Free plan. The 2-drop and 3-drop grids come with Hobby.
