Check it out, this is my first real attempt at earrings. Not quite perfect, but close enough... I'll probably make more like this, only uses a little bit of wire, and takes about an hour and a half each. 8 x 10 mm Onyx in 18 ga silver plated copper and 20 and 26 ga brass, with sterling ear wires.  I also just got some fun little pretties to play with  moldavite, everybody needs a little space glass  aqumarine and spessertine garnet,  rough tourmaline,  and faceted tourmaline... too bad the pink one has a chip in it. I'm sure I'll be able to hide that so, no big deal  .  Now I really need to get wrapping ;D |

I guess that is a little bit of wire for you. LOL. For me, that is still a lot. Nice looking earrings.
