I know they don't match, but they can easily converted to pendants.

When I was finished, I was surprised by how good they looked and so do these.

Love them! I never fret about matching stones for earrings. You never see them both at the same time when they're hanging from someone's ears.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

My bet is she gets dressed in the dark and doesn't want to wake you up. So actually, it would be your fault if you didn't stay up so late cabbing.

I have not paid attention to tin-white marcasite. I know it exists, but for sure I would misidentify it.

She does get dressed in the dark...and when that happens, yes, it's because I was up too late! LOL

(However, in all fairness, she lays her clothes out for the next day before she goes to bed...so...

)

brotherbill - so I've tried to look this up twice now and I'm not sure what the answer is. Is the Marcasite the stone itself, or is it the metal that's in the stone?

I said it on one of your other Marcasite threads, but I really love how the metal in the stone (Marcasite?) blends in with your metalwork! It really makes the pieces flow amazingly well!
