Swirley-gig Earrings
Recently while surfing I stumbled upon these elegantly simple earrings at Etsy. I just couldn't resist making a pair, but ended up putting my own twist on the style and making several pair out of hypo-allergenic niobium wire, and two more pair in sterling silver. With the extra swirl at the bottom of the earrings, and using 6mm beads, each earring requires 3 1/4 inches of 20ga wire. After describing the swirl of wire at the bottom as a "swirly-gig", the name seems to have stuck on the earrings.
