Default Question about earrings and weight

Hmm. So far I'm trying to figure out how to weight disc, or other flat
shapes, but I like the idea of lead. I'm not about to go out and buy a whole
box of ammo though and I don't know anybody who has a shotgun or a BB gun.

I'll be there's some kind of lead solder that comes in sheet form though.
Does anybody know about this? Maybe I can ask at a plumbing supply store or
something. I was going to try and find flat brass discs, etc., but lead
would require smaller pieces and could be cut more easily. Thanks for the
tip!

Martha--what shape earrings are you making? I was thinking of small or
larger BBs, or even lead shot. small size, heavy for its mass...those
wouldn't work for thin disk earrings, but for larger non-flat items, it
might work..what do you think?
