Eagle Eyes and Falling Leaves
About this design:
I love the Eagle Eye Jasper - the flash is amazing - and the little 'falling leaves' chain is great, too.
I also made a pair with slightly smaller Red Tiger Eye rondelles, but they sold before I could get a picture.
Components:
Eagle Eye Jasper Rondelles (LB), Falling Leaves (Antique Cu) chain (LB), sterling silver dotted spacers, Cu wire, Cu heishe/flattened jump rings, surgical steel earwires.Read the comments (or add your own)

Eeka Mouse says:Thanks you!
LRC, I agree, it’s a pricey chain, but I only use 1″ per earring, so it works out to be within my price-range for components. They ARE so attractive…

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Eeka, I adore these! I was wondering how to use this chain without pricing items right out of everyone’s budget, but now I see how! What a fabulous idea!
