Damn right! ;D lol.... This is my first pendant/earring set ever, and also the absolute smallest cabs that I've ever wrapped. This is Peitersite and the earrings are tiny! The customer picked them up about 30 minutes after I finished them. He wants me to do another set, he's gonna drop them off this week. Anyhow, I'm really excited about how they turned out and wanted to share....... This pic gives an idea on how small the earring cabs are.... How did I do? ;D haha

They look great! Sets are real difficult, especially matching the curves on the two sides. You did a wonderful job.

Wow Randy! Those are amazing! I can see you doing the happy dance. The gold is amazing against the cabs and the twists in the wire just bring out the swirls and patterns in the cabs.
That is one fantastic set and who ever ends up wearing the set is going to turn heads. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
Oh, one more thing. It is not easy getting the earrings to a mirror match. You did a perfect job with those.

Just love how you did the mirror image earrings and they accent the cab so well. Jo

Thanks! The only way to do the earrings is to do both at the same time. Every time I make a bend, I do the same exact bend on the other. Each bend, cut, and bind are done one at a time on both. Surprizingly, it wasn't really as hard as you'd think.

Stunning set! I like how you brought the one twisted wire across the face of the pendant!

Randy: Wow, one of my favorite materials, this is a super set!! I think earrings should be mirrored like this then they look better when looking at the person wearing them! How do you wear them? Are you attaching a jump ring to a lever back mount or something, or do you have a hook made of wire to put them in your ears?? Beautiful work! Amber

Thanks y'all! The hooks still need to be ordered. They'll be attached with a jump ring. I have a few sets of hooks but I couldn't find them anywhere! Oh well.

Hey sitnwrap, show Randy how to do his own earring hooks. She made some for me and they look so much better than the ones you can buy.
Beautiful set you did, the cabs are awesome.
