I love this shape.  With a little scale/feather texture on the top, it's just right for every day you need a little swing in your step.  The nickle is a nice alternative to silver with
it's softness embelished with a wash of patina bringing out the texture.  
 
	
2" long spear shape is a a nice size for a dangle without too much weight.
	
French ear wires in silver add another .5" to the length and allow for good movement (danglocity).
	
The nickle is a softer, less expensive alternative to silver.
	
Texture along with a bit of rounding give these earrings their presence.
