The person I made those for liked them so much they asked for a matching
necklace - made a chandlier pendant the same as the earrings and put it
on a chain. Unfortunately the outside pearl drops are just coated plastic
and the colour on the pendant is starting to go off and no idea if I can
find better quality replacements, the earrings are fine they don't end
up with as much skin contact.

Hi Melinda......

Both my daughter and I can take the shine off fake gold in days. We
both have rather acidic skin. Have you thought of painting the gold
parts with clear nailpolish?? Works OK. I remember doing that in high
school......so that is one O-L-D remedy!! (G)

'Bing' light goes on, it's going to be a little tricky to find a matching
nail polish colour, maybe I should look at cleaning those up first then
using clear polish. I've already used coloured polish on a pair of my
earrings, but if the colour doesn't quite match I can always paint the
beads on the earrings as well... Thank you for 'reminding' me :-)

If I am just making up costume jewellery for myself, I usually *paint*
the clasp with clear nail polish. It seems to do the job. Of course, I
can always restring it should it really look bad, but haven't had to so
far. Never thought of using coloured nail polish tho. Odds of it
matching would be really small.

Lots of different things. That's they way to develop your style. And
I see donations for raffles/charity. That's something I keep meaning
to do. You inspire me.
