Here are 7 tiny pairs of earrings in my favourite style of the moment: the Neoterica Minis with (clockwise from front left) aventurine, African turquoise, turquoise, lapis lazuli, onyx, tiger eye and rhodochrosite 4mm gems.

I created them last weekend as promos, to be packaged with press releases from Crafted With Love. I never knew how tiring and repetitive it is to "mass produce" things, coz this isn't the way I usually work. As with all hand-forged earring components I make, the hardest and boringest bit to get through was the filing and rounding off of wire ends. Anyway - I'm quite happy with them and it'll be interesting to see what happens...
