Don't try to imagine. Don't try to create. Simply do it. Just pick up something and start. Don't agonize over perfection; don't worry about it being "good." Remember: You can always start over. Create. Put YOU in the world.

Blue Swarovski Waterfall Earrings
Made these yesterday. Silver plated square wire and graduated sizes and shades of blue and aqua Swarovski crystals.
Sterling Silver Woven Wire Fish Earrings
These are my latest creation: Sterling frames wrap/woven with 28 ga dead soft fine silver, and Swarovski beads. The earwires are handmade as well. These take about 90 min per earring to make and while easy to make, it can get tricky keeping the weave tight, especially as you get toward the top.

How To Make Ear Wires
This is a fabulous video for making ear wires. You'll save a lot of money on ear wires if you make your own. If you don't have a flex-shaft, a dremel will work, or you can hand-file (but that takes more time).
These are great for your own designs or to sell in your store. Make 'em! Experiment with them, hammer, don't hammer, use copper, gold, silver - wrap part of the stem above the loop, add a bead below the wrap - do what you want. Basic, easy, and very pretty.
