We have recorded a short video showing the Classic Pearls - Niobium Post Earrings in both white and purple in natural daylight. This way you can get a better feel for size, color, and how they look with light variation dynamically.
Take a peak! (it's less than one minute)
We've also included the link for this in the current etsy shop listings for these earrings, here and here.

Moved & Setting up
Well, we are moved and settling in box by box. Our office is our dedicated arts & crafts space in the house. It was a bedroom for the previous owners' daughter so one wall is bubblegum pink. After painting our daughters' bedrooms I didn't have any more "oomph" in me to paint over the pink wall in the office. So for now, it will remain until a later point in time. It's nice and peppy though!
My husband made it down to Seattle to the University of Washington's Surplus Store and snagged a great deal on a 6 ft work table and a ginormous bulletin board for the wall. Those pieces in there are so awesome! (You can find some incredible stuff there! http://www.washington.edu/facilities/finadmin/movingandsurplus/inventory/) I plan to use a portion of the cork board as an "Inspiration Board" and the rest for business needs and/or storing baggies of findings or beads even! For the inspiration board I plan to pin up projected colors for the upcoming seasons along with clippings from magazines / catalogs and sketches of ideas. I'm very excited about this.
Shortly after we moved in I was sent a request for custom pearls and flowers on post earrings. I had been overdue to order more pearls, so I finally got to that. I received last week the whole order and they are darling. White and purple 6mm button pearls. Perfect for a post earring. They are so versatile...dress up or down. The white ones have been posted for sale on my etsy shop (http://www.prettysensitive.etsy.com) and the purple ones will be up soon - once I am able to get a good photo showing their color. (We haven't found our point & click camera yet in all the "stuff" and so I will have to use my digital video camera to get a picture, which is a bit more challenging.)
I also ordered resin dye - in white, transparent red, and transparent amber - and a silicone flower mold to try out making my own resin flower cabachons for post earrings. I had bought a set of small enameled metal flower beads awhile back on a clearance rack and sadly, cannot find these again ANYwhere. I have scoured and scoured the internet. So, I'm going to try this resin route and see how it turns out. I am actually quite excited!
So, the focus for now in "Pretty Sensitive Ears" land is setting up the workspace, putting together and listing the new pearl post earrings, and trying out the resin cabachon making! Fun fun fun!

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
