In the jewelry studio, I’ve kind of been on an earring kick lately, though
I’m not sure why.  I usually find them tedious to make because you have to
make two of the same thing.

These earrings are a modification of a pair I made years ago but never wore
because the way they were constructed caused the teardrop shape to go upside
down, which looked weird.  In the modification, I took off the stone,
soldered a jumpring to the top, and soldered an additional, smaller teardrop
shape in the center.

These earrings are easy to wear and very light, but have a substantial look
to them.  I might even have to take them to Japan with me.
