Fun pattern

I really enjoyed creating these earrings. I used a different colour, and it was a bit fiddly holding the ends together and wrapping wire round them, but it worked out and I now have a very elegant pair of earrings. I hope to find some sappphire cup chain(my birth stone) and design a pair!
