I think I've found my niche! At least for now. I have been making earrings, more for myself than anyone else. I am my own walking billboard. Anyway back to my niche. I think the wire wrapping is the biz! I enjoy the technique, the look, the simplicity and sometimes the extravagance. It can really be whatever you make it, literally.

These are the bigger, original version and my absolute personal fave!

I love these! Simple, classic, everyday and also in sterling silver.

Its pure coincidence that these 3 are black and silver. I just noticed that and these were not made around the same time. Well the small ones are a replica of the bigger ones. Those are my favorite and seems to be everyone else's favorites as well. I get loads of compliments every time I wear them. The smaller ones are for my bff and now I have to make some for myself.
BTW, I love working with sterling silver! I will never go back to aluminum or the cheap stuff. I read that beginning jewelry makers should skip the cheap stuff and go straight to sterling silver and the better metals to save themselves a lot of hassle and headache. And they were absolutely correct! I immediately noticed the difference in the handling of the materials and I must say I loved having silver smudged fingers.
These earrings are great. My wife owns a few pairs of them. I always liked the stylish but simplistic look.
