I am so delighted with how these turned out. I saw the little tape measure connector and thought it would go well with the right needle charm. Then I found these, I adore them. They're almost fairytale. I love the giant 'eye'. Now THAT i could thread. Perfect for crafters or anyone who uses either. And they're so elegant. I've used little tape measure charms and paired them with lovely exaggerated needle charms in silver plated brass. I've finished off with silver plated hypo allergenic ear wires and stainless steel jump rings for strength. The needle is 3.5 cm and the whole earring comes in at 8 cm in total including the connector and wire. Stitch Kitsch! All items come in a beautiful pink organza bag andor white tissue paper. Perfect for gift giving. Please contact me if you have a problem on receipt of order. Things happen. We're all human. I will do anything I can to rectify any matter.
