My Etsy of wonder and beauty.
I make mostly earrings but, just to be perverse, today I offered my first non-earring in forever.




Pinkslinkie's Etsy.

Also, Come tell me my blog sucks.

I love your work, BigGirl, and your descriptions of your items. Please make other thingamabobs because I can't wear pierced earrings.

Your jewelry is really beautiful, Biggirl. I look forward to seeing your future work too. I "favorited" you so I won't forget.

Me too! My ears don't react well to most metals, though, so I can't take them off your hands. I'll share your site with friends, and keep you in mind when Christmas-gift season approaches!

I can't believe it already arrived! I love it, BigGirl. You should make more non-earrings. Thanks a million.

Okay, I just got back from a field job. Now I need to make up my mind which ones I want.

Those are lovely, Ellen Cherry. If I had pierced ears, you wouldn't have them to order!

There is only one pair of post earrings I believe. The back is stainless steel. All the other earrings are earwire. The machine made earwire are stainless steel (even the gold tone ones). The handmade wires are either coated or plated brass. If the materials list only "wire", then it is coated brass.


Stainless steel is actually surgical stainless steel and is hypo-allergenic.


Oh and. . . there is one pair made of sterling silver. Garden Gnomes.

I can't seem to log into PayPal, so I haven't ordered. I need to confer with my husband on the password.

I do have a question, though — on the blue blur earrings, do they hang so that the swirl faces front, or does it go off to the side?

They face flat side out but should swing freely enough so that they turn randomly.
