Very nice explanation! You've formatted the post really well and made it super easy to read.
Are the earrings quite heavy? Can't help but think they might be a bit heavy on the ears!

Thank you! Interestingly enough, these particular earrings were actually quite light for this style of jewelry. It's kind of hard to tell in the pictures, but they are only about 1.5 inches in diameter (with an overal thickness ranging from 1mm-3mm), and the stones are fairly small too. The main Fire Agates are just over .25 inches, and the largest emerald is only about 1.5mm. Streamlining my design, and structural wires also helped minimalize the weight a lot.
Keeping wire-wrap earrings light though can be really hard. I struggle with it on every earring project, and despite my efforts sometimes they still end up very heavy. The layers build up so quickly! 😜
