So I was challanged to make a pair of earrings using Fire Agates. I had to dig though my rough to find two stones that had fire similar enough and then they also had to be able to cut similar shaped stones. I had never made wire wrap earrings. On top of that I just figured that Fire Agates are such a one of a kind type stone that it would be next to impossible to do......I stand corrected. I learned that since it is hand made that you don't have to be 100% perfect. If it is close....sometimes that is good enough. How do you all think I did? They were made to go with the pendant at the end.     |

You did a super job on those earrings and the pendant. Who ever is wearing that set is going to turn a few heads and it wont be just men. Her friends are going to gush over them.
Beautiful job!

Thank you! They are 1 3/16" from the loop so they hang a little more because I did not measure the jump ring and ear wire, and 1/2" wide
