They look great @Begonia! You made these? If you did I’m impressed!
@junebug17 It looks so pretty on you...I would have purchased them but I wanted blue..I don’t wear green..I like the shape of your better than what I got..but mine were cheap...I felt like they would be testers to see if they would work with my huggies. Since I bought mine from Etsy it will probably be a while before I get them. I bought two others besides the blue ones. One is a sort of a deep pinky rose color. I’m not fond of the silver ornamentation on the pinky ones..but they were cheap and a good test.Thanks @Begonia! I think I'm sending these back, they're too heavy and they bother my ears. I like the way they look though. I'd love a small pearl or a pink...but it's harder than you'd think to find something online. And the loops on the charm have to be big enough to slide onto the hoops...so kinda tricky finding something that works.
I might revisit the wire wrap style and faceted beads I've been seeing on etsy...I wanted something just a bit dressier but they might be lighter.
@Mamabean, I hope you make out better!
ETA - @Begonia, the pearls you're wearing are really nice. And you made those?
Definitely not @Begonia! I bought three different earring drops.For instance (I hope I’m not being obnoxious and yapping too much about this?), those little blue drops above can be made for as little as 5 dollars, if they are not semi precious stones. If they are sapphire rondelles, then it might be up around 25 to 30. Lower end sapphires could be made for somewhere in between.
I’m sure they’re not..as they make a number of them...Hopefully they will match because it will drive me crazy if they don’t.Very nice!!!
All are beautiful stones, and great choices IMO.
Etsy is a great resource for just about everything. Make sure they are pictures of the ones being sent to you, but I’m sure you know that about Etsy
Cute!
@elizat Thanks! I’ll check them out! I would love a photo!I have been looking for some too! I found some Edison pearl drops that are large on Etsy. I can take a photo.
I found a seller that has the charm and the hoop for sale, but it was in 14kt, so expensive to me. The seller is Villagejewelery.
I was thinking about trying to find loose pairs and just have charms made.

Thank you @junebug! I’ll go look!@Mamabean, there are some charms/dangles here
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShalomJew...listing_id=485646981&search_query=Hoops#items
not many selections with blue but I did see a lapis ball...takes a while to go through everything. I might order something from this site.
Thank you @cmd2014! I will check them out!If anyone wants pearl charms, there are a couple of options that I have used. American Pearl sells them in Tahitian, White South Sea, Gold South Sea, and freshwater versions.
White south sea (choose the "pearls only" option): https://www.americanpearl.com/south-sea-pearl-drop-kate-earring-textured.html
For Tahitian and Gold South Sea pearls, you just need to pick the type of pearl that you want in the options.
You can customize your pearl size and the metal of the finding on the site, and they regularly have 15 - 20% off codes that they offer on the site.
As an alternative, I have also had Pearl Paradise custom make me some drops. They made me my White South Sea, Freshwater pearl, and Hanadama (akoka) drops to go on my white gold and diamond huggies. It's a bit of a more dressed up look than just studs.
