Ear Bling
About this design:
I thought I would try doing the earcuff / earring combo a little different and personally, I like it. It's almost like it forces the ear cuff to follow the shape of the ear. I made regular matching earring for the other ear.
Components:
20g gold wire, 6mm white cat's eye beads, red rondelles, red and white glass beads and rubber earring backs.Additional Images:
