Oops I did it again

Instead of doing housework, I made one more pair of crotalia-style earrings today. I remembered having an old 3-strand necklace clasp in my hoard and I was able to locate it. After that it was a matter of choosing the rest of the bits. I decided to do something more like the originals, so I used white freshwater pearls, brass wire, and some gold coils meant to go on custom earwires. Those have got to be 45-50 years old, from when Aged Mum and I were learning jewelry making from booklets we bought at Grieger’s. I guess being a packrat comes in handy sometimes, but I sure feel ancient.
