Thank so much for thoughtful compliment! It's those challenges that keep us moving, and push us to continue growing. I always feel so stagnent when I'm not creating.
One another note, I just recently discovered your #MarketFriday. I haven't participated yet, but have been thinking about joining in, and offering special Steemit exculsive deals on my work (and crystals) every friday. Does that seem like something that would fit well with the challenge?
That is unfortunate, sorry to hear. But weirdly I can imagine someone stumbling upon them one day. Finding this treasure and the expression on their face.
Hope it didn't get you too down, you are very talented.
Thank you! Interestingly enough, these particular earrings were actually quite light for this style of jewelry. It's kind of hard to tell in the pictures, but they are only about 1.5 inches in diameter (with an overal thickness ranging from 1mm-3mm), and the stones are fairly small too. The main Fire Agates are just over .25 inches, and the largest emerald is only about 1.5mm. Streamlining my design, and structural wires also helped minimalize the weight a lot.
Keeping wire-wrap earrings light though can be really hard. I struggle with it on every earring project, and despite my efforts sometimes they still end up very heavy. The layers build up so quickly! 😜
Lovely... I love Jewelry making. It is creative, relaxing and satisfying.
I enjoy the process of making as much as the end product :)
Thank you! Totally agree. Creating keeps me sane, and I always feel so accomplished when it's finished.
What a wonderful eye you have for the craft. Creating is very challenging but, I love the process of any kind, even writing.
Your work is quite unique and beautiful. I need to keep perusing! Tip!

Insane a true work of art. I can I understand why they are not for sale ^^
Thanks so much! They would be if I still had them lol. These earrings were unfortunately lost to fire a few years ago. Total bummer!

Very nice explanation! You've formatted the post really well and made it super easy to read.
Are the earrings quite heavy? Can't help but think they might be a bit heavy on the ears!
