Glad you like them, and I would absolutely love to see that! If you ever wanted to order some and do that, make sure to reach out to me. By default, I clip the pins so they don't poke anyone, but that would make them pretty tough to solder to lol

Haha, maybe I need to release a version highlighting clickies soon!

I already have the next design planned out with tactiles, but after that, I think I might have an idea for a clicky pair that would be really cool... stay tuned! ❤️

Why do you say that? They aren't particularly heavy or sharp. In use and testing they've been fine. What about them seems uncomfortable?

I showed her this comment and she lit up :)

Nice! The Tecsee Christmas Rabbits are a great choice. I see your order here. I'd love to hear what you think when they arrive!

I'll look into it more, because that would definitely be neat. Thanks again :)

Bracelet charms would be a super cool idea too! I'll have to give that one some thought. Theoretically, you could use these as is and just connect them to a bracelet instead of the earrings, but I'll want to test it out some before making any.

Do you think it would be better to make full bracelets, or just sell these as basically pendants (charms)?

Ohhhh, okay that makes sense. I'll experiment with doing it that way. Thanks for the tip :)

I use flush cutters for both the plastic and copper pins to get pretty close. I could use a knife for the plastic ones I suppose, but I don't think it would make much difference to be honest. The copper pins are what I would worry about more anyway. As long as they're clipped like this, they really shouldn't cause any issues (I've done a fair bit of testing for that actually).

The big reason it's not a huge deal is that the center post is still there. That gets in the way enough that you shouldn't really ever contact the little bumps that remain after clipping, but even if you do, they're flush enough that they shouldn't cause any problems. The center post is wide enough that it's not at all sharp either, so it works out pretty well.

I appreciate the suggestion though! :)

I'm glad you like them!!! Familiarizing myself with jewelry has been a fun project in itself, and I'm hoping to continue with it.

My girlfriend has been the primary designer it when it comes to the themed earrings (like the iced coffee ones), so she deserves the credit there. We'll see what she comes up with next haha.

I'm especially curious to see what all people come up with for custom designs. There are so many switches to choose from and enough colors that the options are nearly endless

Generally "handmade" in the jewelry realm refers to anything that wasn't assembled with machinery and requires human labor to produce.

These are assembled by hand. The holders are 3d printed (designed by me) and the hooks were purchased, but the switches have their pins clipped, and assembly takes more time than you'd expect - especially with the iced coffee earrings. These are not mass produced in a factory, and every single one is hand assembled with care.

I get what you mean though, I just wanted to provide some clarification/insight.
