NotHoops NICKYS

NEW!  Branching out a bit.  These styles are suspended on my regular french wires, but I make a silver hoop frame first. Nickys are the 4th of this general design.  I'm still going to keep playing with it!

Nickys are in honor & remembrance of my 17 yr old Polydactyl pussycat, Nicky Minou Claws.  I thought these did his huge paws justice. 

Nickys hang about about 1 3/8" from where the wire goes through the ear. 

About the Macrame:

All my beadwork is Micro-macramé and glass. Micro-macramé jewelry is lightweight, durable, and the cording is colorfast. I use an extremely tough 3ply nylon cord, and it's basically indestructible. What I tell my customers in my shops is this.... "I guarantee it for as long as you own it. You can swim, shower, sweat...most anything. Just don't light it on fire, or leave it on the dashboard of your car directly in the hot sun." Most people tend to think they won't be using fire near their ears or necks.  If you DO leave them in a sunny, hot, tightly enclosed space, they may shrink up a little, but this only occasionally happens, and usually only on fringed pieces. In any case, just get in touch with me & I'll either give you instructions on fixing it, or tell you to send it to me for repair.

About Earwires:

I use Argentium Silver wire to form all my earwires. Argentium silver is a fairly new alloy of Sterling, retaining the traditional 92.5% silver...but replaces some of the copper in traditional Sterling with Germanium. The elimination of the copper, along with the addition of the germanium creates a lovely silver which is a little harder, resistant to "fire scale" and super tarnish resistant. It is far less likely to irritate those with sensitive skin. I can personally vouch for this, as I have always had a difficult time with any metals in my ears except gold, and I have absolutely no trouble with the Argentium Silver earwires.
