These are SO heavy I can't wear them for more than a couple of hours. So they are going to be re-worked into a few different pairs of earrings, I think. Or maybe a bracelet--I think I like that idea better.
As you can see, these are clearly extremely cheap, since the cabochon of the right earring isn't even lined up correctly. I think they came in a set of three for $7 or something. I'm pretty sure I wanted the set because there was a pair of brown earrings that I wanted for some reason.
I love earrings. I collect them, I buy them as souvenirs in my travels, and I notice the earrings everyone wears. Always.
At one point I counted over 175 pairs of earrings in my growing collection, and decided that I would not allow myself to wear any pair of earrings twice until I had worn them all once. This blog is simply a documentation of that process and a place to share all of the beautiful earrings I find (and their sources, where possible).
I try to note the store where the earrings were purchased if I remember. For those purchased abroad I will note the place and the date, as well as the store if my memory serves me well enough to allow it.
(I'm also going to try not to wear any newly-purchased earrings until I've worn all of the earrings I already own. TRY.)
