Ear rings - what do you think of them? Model enclosed

Gavin · 2 Aug 2006 at 13:45

Hi guys, its my missus's birthday this friday so i thought i would do something different for her and with my jeweller friends help, i designed a pair of ear rings for her. She likes hoop ear rings but not so much they are chavvy but she also likes the security of a butterfly.

The rings are made out of solid silver and they are about the size of a large mans thumb.

I dont mind contructive criscism but some nice comments would equally and most hopefully be welcomed :thumbs:

WHat do you lot reckon?

I reckon they gotta be worth around the £100 mark(just for the silver let along my design

) but i didnt ask my friend as he had helped a lot and i didnt want to embarrass him

bah!....no model......

hmm dont know about hoops on the end of a dangly bit, never seen any like that tbh...will need to see them worn to give a proper answer...they just look like they will hang too low...look cool though! :cool:

£100 for a pair of what looks like keyrings, with mini-corksscrew attached? :eek:

Abit steep for ear rings, but I dont really notice ear rings on women unless they are them huge round things.

They look nice, but the question should be do they look nice on her?

Hoops look god-awful in my opinion.

This will sound abit daft but can you see your gf in them?

If yes - get them.
If no - don't get them.
If unsure - don't get them.

Guess you could describe them like that as it happens :rolleyes:

Gavin · 2 Aug 2006 at 13:53

If anyone read the post i did say i designed them hence i already have them its not a matter of buying them,

I like Rosbifs Comment on the industrial side though as she is a bit gothicy.

Kinda, but i generally don't like large hoops, little ones can look fine but i'm a studs man.

Thx, They are meant to for that look while still smart enough for a dinner out.

I'm so glad this wasn't a post about male earings or i would have battered you via my keyboard tbh!

They look nice, give her the receipt or always say to her, you can take them back, etc, etc

silver price atm is about $11 an ounce ,so i doubt very much they are worth £100 just for the metal a pair of 1 ounce earrings worn for a month and your better half would have earlobes like an afrikaans tribal woman, main thing is that you designed them so tell her that.
