Okay, floating a design variation here. Anyone care to fill me in on whether this looks like something I should continue to explore or not?


In someone's left ear, an ear climber consisting of quite a lot of tiny red, blue, and green rhinestone crystals in a presumably brass setting, but instead of merely occupying the length of the earlobe, this climber also dangles down about 3/4 of an inch from the piercing site. This means about four of the rhinestones hang below the edge of the wearer's ear.

Same ear, same climber, but weirdly washed-out-looking, because the lighting in the room was fluorescent bulbs.

Same ear, same climber, but the skin is ruddier and the rhinestone colors are darker, because the camera was set to automatically compensate for fluorescent lighting.

Same climber design, but on someone's right ear instead. Also still ruddy-skinned thanks to the white balance setting.

Same climber, same ear, but the photo was taken in much more even lighting, the skin is less ruddy, and the colors of the rhinestones are all brighter and more distinguishable.


I would be more likely to do this design in future using single-color rhinestone chains, ideally emerald green or AB iridescent white crystal, and a matching metal rather than just niobium. I used the multicolored crystal this time because the chain was on sale for half the price of other varieties, so might as well experiment with that.

I like 'em . . . but I like the tailless risers better.

The first one makes me think Christmas colours, although that may just be because the lighting hides/downplays the blue tones. Maybe I just have an overactive pattern recognition circuit when it comes to the combination of red and green jewel tones and gold metallics, but still.
