I agree Beadydani, they are fun, and you can customize them to your unique piece when you do them yourselves (they're cheaper too).

Thanks Dawn for this freebie. I have tried the almond shape ones - they are easy to make and can make an otherwise simple earring into an elegant one, looking kind of unique.
I'm always looking for new shapes of ear wires and these are my favorite at the moment.

Thanks Kasi, I'm glad you

I'm glad you like them -- the almonds DO add a touch of the exotic.
