I just made up some earrings out of sterling silver and military-surplus vacuum tubes. Getting the bases trimmed down without shattering them was quite difficult, but I think they turned out rather well (aside from my color-inaccurate photography, anyway. )

is he or she into things audio related?

 

[earthpeople]

It actually makes me think more of steampunk style than audio. A shame, I know.

Indeed--those are actually quite attractive looking. Did she like them?

I, regrettably, do not have a significant other - I made them to sell at sci-fi conventions.

I'm glad people like them - I think I'll be making quite a few more.

Those are very cool! I'll bet you could sell quite a few of them!

Any chance you could possibly include hearing aid batteries to light the filaments? Talk about an eargasm.

 

[krmathis]

Looks cool!

 

[intoflatlines]

Awesome! That would be great for someone into audio, antiques, or geeky stuff!

 

[apatN]

Nice one! Looks very cool.

They'd get drained REALLY fast. Also, I don't think the filaments in these light up very much, if at all.

Would be pretty nifty, though!

300B earrings next?
