I have been thinking of making a tutorial for how to make a simple earring for some time. Finally, I decided to have one done today. So here is the method to make a simple dangling earring.
I started with 4 black beads and 8 bead caps. I love to use the lever back ear hooks, because, I kind of losing earrings in the winter. Lever back ear hooks will help to keep those dangling beauties on your ears while you are covered in wintery accessories.

Here is the bead, bead caps and an eye pin. I am going to make one with more than one dangle. That is why I choose the eye pin.

See how the bead and bead caps are threaded on the eye pin.
Now you need a plier to bend the eye pin above the bead segment.
The eye pin is bended about 90degree angle. Now I will be using a round nose plier, to create a loop on the end of the pin.

Now roll the plier towards the bead to create a loop on top of the segment. It will look like this now.

Now make another beaded segment with loop the same way.
I have a round closed jump ring. so I decided to attach that between the bead segments.

You can see that I am using the lever back ear hook. To give the earrings a finished look, I decided to add a silver plated bead at the end.
Now my easy dangling earrings are ready to get admired.
