Squirrel and nut earrings

kiwi · BCBG

they're cute, and if you can get lots of wear out of them, then i don't think $74 is that bad, especially w/ this coupon at lyricalbeauty.net (Save 15% on any order of $50. or more. Simply enter the code "summerfun671" at checkout. exp. 8/31/2005).

i'm kinda iffy on the fact that they're brass though. if you're ok with it, then that's another story

Lilykind · Hermes

I have just met my dream earrings. But I wouldn't spend that kind of money on them either...the materials and styling don't quite justify that price point.

These are kinda close, but they don't have the dangly factor. $14 at www.naughtysecretaryclub.com

I make jewelry, and these aren't worth $74. They take like, 2 minutes to make, and brass is a very inexpensive material. Personally I think that price is ridiculous.

jah · Dooney & Bourke

I'm with atlgirl on this...I also make jewelry and the only thing that could possibly justify that price (and this is even a stretch) is if the designer hand cast the squirrel and nut and made each one to look different, etc.

Why don't you make them yourself. Couldn't find brass...but here are selections in sterling silver...

With earring findings, chain and a seed pearl, you are looking at maybe $15 tops.

Thank you all for your input. Jah thank you for suggesting I make my own. I make jewelry and I dont know why I didn't think of making them myself.
