Ear wires at Momma Goddess Treasures

gold tone ear wires

These ear wires are pretty cool looking in my opinion.  I bought mine in gold because I wear a lot of yellow gold jewelry and wanted something to match.

Trudy at Momma Goddess Treasures makes some unique and beautiful jewelry but I’d had my eyes on the ear wires for a while and after seeing photos from a friend who bought hers before me, I decided it was time.

When they got here, I wasn’t certain how to wear them, but  figured it out quickly. My biggest concern was that I have really small curved ears. People call them elf like. Anyway, the wire is flexible so they can mold to  the shape of your ears in order to fit and stay on.

I wore mine to work with my hair pulled back so I wouldn’t worry about getting hair caught in them, but I still felt a little funny with them  on. They aren’t heavy and they don’t bind, but I certainly was aware of them because I’m not used to having something setting on my ear.

While they weren’t uncomfortable, I did catch them with my hands and It seemed like they never sat quite right. I haven’t given up though and will be trying again to wear them. She also makes other ones with crystals and stones on them which are really elegant and upscale too.

Description: Gold toned wire combined with gold plate balls create a unique ear pin. These actually fit up the ear for a different look.
 Price: $12.50 usd

A while back I reviewed Teri’s jewelry making tutorial and thought it was very interesting to say the least. Well, Teri is in need of a new computer in order to continue making her awesome jewelry lines, so she’s having a sale.

I volunteered to pass the word around because Teri was a member of my inagural test group for coaching and helped me realize my dreams. So, I’m returning the favor.
