Wanna Keep the Noise Down?

About this design:
A little gift for a close friend who isn't feeling well. She likes bright color,and she loves jewelry that goes "ching a ling" and "rattle rattle." These earrings fit that bill for sure. I wore them for about 1/2 hour and went nuts,but they're pretty,and I know she will love them.
Components:
GP connectors,ear wires,and jump rings,GF 22G eye pins,and spacers. Gold tone coins from a hobby store,Labradorite faceted rounds 8mm,Carnelian faceted rounds 8mm,Carnelian faceted ovals 12ish mm?Read the comments (or add your own)
