I had a fit of ear-climber-making last night.

I'm wearing the lapis ones today. I'll probably wear the garnet ones tomorrow to see if I handled the wrap wire correctly- I'm not entirely sure I like how I did that well enough to be willing to sell them, esp. since niobium is a stiff and potentially sharp metal compared to silver.

















Not thrilled with my photography but this is what I get for using my phone and the bathroom mirror instead of having someone else take the pics. Also, I think I need to clean out my ear something fierce; it's not dirty but the closeups show way too many pores in there.

Oooh, what's the lighter blue stone? I do like the way those look, though I have no idea if I'd like them on my ears or if they'd annoy me no end.

That's apatite. Mohs 5, much too soft to be a good idea in a ring, but as an earring it's not gonna brush up against anything harder than your hair or possibly your earbuds.
