*This pair of earrings was made with a gold head pin with a decorative pattern. It was threaded through a mottled blue glass  bead, a Swarovski crystal, and a black glass bead. Then I formed a loop and connected each one to an ear hook with a jump ring. Note that the quantity of real elemental gold here ranges somewhere between negligible and nil.*

*Antiqued brass eye pins are each threaded through a black glass bead, a Swarovski crystals, a floral pattern glass bead, another Swarovski crystal, and a final black glass bead. After another eye was formed with round nose pliers, jump rings were used to attach key-shaped charms at one end and ear hooks at the other.*

*This pair uses a stainless steel head pin. It was stacked with a bead cap, a glass faux pearl, a Swarovski crystal-encrusted spacer, a blue glass bead, a metal spacer bead, a blue Swarovski crystal, and a final metal spacer bead.  Then a eye was formed with round nose pliers, and jump rings were used to attach ear hooks.*

*This simpler set starts like the previous earrings with a head pin and bead cap. However, it continued with a purple glass bead, another cap, and a small white glass faux pearl. After forming an eye, I decided to add my last spiral leaf  charms along with the ear hooks on the jump rings.*

*This larger pendant is made from a variety of gear-shaped findings, and blends a silver finish majority with a bronze finish accents. I also added a few clock hands. The bail connects through a small black bead to get a better bearing surface and protect the joint inside.*

*I am tempted to add an acrylic eye to the center of the front bronze gear, but have not done so yet. What do you think, readers?*
