Nothing new here - I had some thumbnails removed after the PS upgrade (thank you moderators!!) and just replacing an old long-distance perspective pic that I didn't mean to delete from the original post.
The earrings are absolutely gorgeous but I’ve got to be honest, your skin is what stands out the most to me. It’s magnificent! You’re clearly doing something right.

I keep coming back to this thread from time to time as there are so many things I love about it... @yessie
1) Your enthusiasm for jewelry and attention to detail is admirable. Half the time I don't know how to communicate or how a change might impact the wear of a custom piece until it's too late... always seem to need to "see it person or try it on" before I figure it out...
2) The photographs are amazing! So artsy and interesting. What a skill set!
3) Also your skin/hair gleams as bright as the earrings
.... anyhow just another fan who considers you an PS idol with your collection!
One question if you don't mind helping out and for resurrecting this thread - When the earrings were initially with the hooks, were you ever afraid of losing it? Did you ever wear it with a rubber backing that holds it in place? For some reason, I don't love the look of lever backs and think there is something graceful about the French wire but wasn't sure if that is inadvisable with the risk of potentially losing it... though something as substantial as your earring would be noticed I would think so the only risk would be the impact of hitting the ground?

You're so kind, thank you so much!!
The reason I moved to hooks was almost totally aesthetic preference - I didn't feel that they were unwearable or potentially unsafe on hooks. But my hooks were also quite large - the earring would have had to wiggle out with a good 3/4-inch of wire to lose itself. I do worry about more petite hoops (in terms of length) though, I'd use the rubber backs for those for sure!

Thanks for all your amazing insight as always! I'm glad to hear your feedback on wearing hooks without anxieties... though all the dangles I own are purely costume at this point. Your piece (hooks and the stud version) is a true inspiration. May you continue to enjoy it for years to come!
