No one names their girls Crystal anymore. Oh well, there are plenty of 'em in my generation. Part of this earring design came out of my recent experiments with patterned brass sheet. I had a minor "aha!" moment when I figured out how to cover where the chains attach with these brass saddle-like things I made. I love saddles. Actually, all horse tack exciting to me. I could digress further, but I won't. I made some earrings kind of like this in the past, but if you examined the back of them, you could see how they were assembled, which I considered inferior craftsmanship. I knew I wasn't doing my best work, but I also knew that I could sell them. These earrings…maybe not, but they sure do please me.
