Radiant - Silver and synthetic sapphires drop hoop earrings

Full and round and curved.  These little orbs contain bumps and texture and interesting undulations.  6mm x 2mm

Slipped onto a 0.8mm round wire hoop that is approximately 13mm outer diameter.  This is a comfortable size wire for the ear.  Plus is it designed to sit just under the lobe.  The donut 'hole' is slightly larger to promote movement both around and from side to side. 

The fastening is 'flush' which means you open the gap in the hoop sideways (not outward) thread the wire through your lobe, then nestle the two ends back together again.  It's actually not as fiddly as it sounds once you get the hang of it.  I can put mine on by myself (I'm the lovely model in the end shot).  Or you could ask for help from a friend. 

Each has 4 x synthetic sapphires cast-in-place into the silver.  Different colours and shapes.  One stone on each earring has fallen out during the process.  I like how to can see the shape of where it once sat.
