Must Try On

When I first saw this jewelry finding being used as a drop earring, it was surprising, because in my limited imagination, I always saw it as the backing for a brooch or for a pendant, linked together as a bracelet, anything but an earring, in fact. So it was out of curiosity more than anything that I pulled a couple of pieces from the stock drawer, had them antiqued and hung them on ear wires. When I put them on for the first time this morning, they took on a lovely, gentle look that I really liked. It's like that dress on the hanger in the store that you think is not suitable but a friend nudges you. "Try it on, even if for the laughs", she might say. And then you put the dress on, stand back from the mirror, and like it so much you buy it and wear it often. That's how I feel about these earrings. They need to be tried on for the best effect. About 1 3/4" overall.
