earrings help

[Two_Sheds]

I want to buy some earrings, in a particular style, but can't find them anywhere, not in shops nor online. I can't afford to spend much more than a tenner.

The nearest I can get is like the ones in this picture, but with the drop cut off: I just want the curly bit at the top, to be worn as a stud not a dangly earring.
If they were cheaper I'd buy them and cut off the drop.

Any ideas? Links, suppliers, designers?
thanks guys

I've looked through the whole of eBay and 1928.com

Hi TwoSheds - have you looked at the Jacqueline Kennedy collection on QVC? There are some more classic styles as well as the 'chandelier' styles.

try claires accessories, they often have stuff like that xx

Yay - love the Chilli ones!

No help at all am I? Sorry

Have you thought about making them for yourself? You can pick up the bits pretty cheaply and easily these days.

I know it sounds daft but both Tesco and Sainsburys do fab ranges of really good quality jewellery and i know that Sainsburys has lots of stud earrings as opposed to drops.
So you could try there.

I've just had a quick look at New Look website (been tasked with finding a sticky out 'fashion' tutu. Anyway. And saw these. You're a resourceful sort, and for £3.00 I'm sure you could have a bash at putting a stud backing on something like these and taking off dangly bit. I was amazed at some of these and D Perkins actually - some nice styles and very cheap.

When do you need them by? I've got a little welding torch and jewellery tools (and all the fixings) and would be happy to do it for you.

What I'm looking for (I didn't explain well) is an earring that goes up the ear rather than hangs down.
Something curly or filigreed perhaps, def. something that looks organic like it's growing up the ear!

[Rhona]

I wondered if it was the 'growing up the ear' thing that you wanted. Very striking - haven't seen anything like that but have tons of online shopping to do, so will look out.

Is this rose any good???

Just spotted this - well over budget, and probably over the top for what you wanted, but it's different!
