camwynOr at least get a better pic of that pendant... anyway, I have two pieces to show off today. I'll put the other one up later. For now, here, an experiment in ear climbers. Ear crawlers. Whatever, there's like five names for the damn things.
Herkimer diamonds- double-pointed high clarity quartz crystals, which legally aren't supposed to be called Herkimer diamonds unless they were mined in Herkimer County, NY, but I don't know how much that rule gets obeyed- 28 gauge silver-filled wire, and 21 gauge Argentium silver wire. For reference, Argentium silver is also called Argentium sterling. It's basically sterling silver, but instead of copper, they use the same percentage of germanium, producing a form of silver that experiences little to no tarnish.
