Rupinder wrote to me that she’s lost one of her favorite earrings, and she’s wondering if anyone could possibly make a replacement for her. If you think you can help, please email her at rupinder123 @ earthlink.net (remove the spaces).
Hi Cyndi! I make a lot of different earrings and this replacement would be fairly easy. The problem would be in finding the right componets looking through different supply companies. Hopefully someone out there has the right pieces. Good Luck, I also hate to lose a pair of favorite earrings.
Looks like the style of earrings made in Peru or Ecuador that are often sold in the States and Canada in imported artisan shops.
I’d say her best bet is to try and find some similar earrings in a shop like that. If you can’t find the exact same ones, try and find ones that have the same components (like those little silver feathery dangles), and you could always re-make another pair using the parts.
Hope that helps!
