I received a custom order via my website (at http://www.prettysensitive.weebly.com) for a pair of niobium post earrings with clear round crystals recently. I've been meaning to make more crystal faced niobium post earrings for a bit now...and sometimes it takes that extra little kick in the pants!
So, last night I sat down and worked on the custom order and made six extra pairs. Working my pliers on the wire for these identified some places where building up calluses might be nice! Felt like I nearly formed blisters! It takes a lot of work to get the wire to do what I want it to! ;)
Anyway, I got 4mm clear and light blue Swarovski crystal niobium post earrings made, clear princess cut Swarovski crystal in 4mm made, and 6mm jet black Swarovksi crystals made. Also some montees in a light topaz.
They are difficult to get just right when I mount the crystals. They have a tendency to want to slip off-center before the epoxy sets - so I have to keep an eye on them!
I'm excited to get them posted. Check my store soon to see how they turned out! http://www.prettysensitive.etsy.com (Right now there are tons of great choices in surgical steel post earrings too!)
Hypoallergenic Surgical Steel earrings, Nickel Free Niobium / Titanium / Argentium Silver earrings made especially for your sensitive ears!

More Niobium Posts
I showed pictures of my very first pair of 100% hypoallergenic Niobium post earrings for sensitive ears in a previous post here on my blog. That post can be found here.
Since then I've sold several pairs of Niobium post earrings with freshwater button pearls. Here is a photo of these:
I also had a custom order request for another pair of Niobium posts with crystals. The customer requested dark green. Here is a photo of how these turned out:
Up next, I have a variety of gemstones that I will be mounting on to Niobium posts. Included in the lineup are: amethyst, tiger eye, onyx, lapis lazuli, nephrite, malachite, and more! These gemstones range in size from 4 mm for those who prefer their post earrings to be more of a subtle accessory to 6 mm for those who love to have their posts stand out more.
I also have the concept in mind for how to create a dangle element to these Niobium posts. My first shortcut method did not work. But, method number two is more complicated, but should just do the trick! Stay tuned! :)
P.S. I do like to work with individuals to create custom earrings that are in your preferred color and/or material. Don't hesitate to contact me either by email: prettysensitive at gmail dot com Or via the contact page on my website: http://www.prettysensitive.weebly.com
