My Funky Earrings *updated with new pics*

Hullo!
I got sick of sitting in an office in front of a computer for a job, so i packed it in and decided to make jewelry to help support myself while I do the whole COSM (my musical project) thing.
Check em out!





check out http://www.cosm.co.nz/content/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=39 to see all of the ones i have made so far.
Each style of earing corresponds to a COSM tune. These particular earings are for my tune "Feral Frameshift"
They are hand made from a special polymerclay which sets very hard, then I hand paint them, and varnish (shiney or matt)... They can either be for stetched holes (any width) or I can cut them clean and fix sterling silver fittings for normal earholes (still gives the appearance of a stetched hole).
I can also make any shape, size or colour. Just ask me! tom@cosm.co.nz or msn raggamuffin_@hotmail.com
I've been selling them for $15 (for a plain one), $25 (for a painted fancy one) or $35 for a pair of painted ones. They come with thier own story and cool certified organic packaging.
Free steak knives too.
So yeh! keen to know what you guys think, and also any suggestions for cool colours/designs etc... whats cool at the moment? what would you like to see? I live on a small island over here in new zealand, so im not too sure on whats trendy
Yehar!

i really like the way those earrings look, as they surely arent something you come across every day.
at the end of the post however i read like Tom and uhm well, i cant really imagine those on a lad heh, call me old fashioned 
anyways, if you can make a buck selling something which you enjoy to create, go for it, it often is the most pleasant cash to come across

Those look pretty cool. Why not put up a shot with one in your ear kinda give a better perspective. Cool none-the-less

This gives me a reason to re pierce my ears.
Do I get the free steak knife as well?
If I gave you a few images like the Om symbol or some chakra symbols could you incorporate them into the artwork?Maybe some celtic weaving also,in place of the wavy lines you show.
Great job!

Cool Stuff! I really like the packaging shown in the background, very interesting.
Around here it seems like glass earring/plugs are "in". Also bone. Good luck with the Music and the Jewelry!

As for ideas.Maybe make some shapes that are more geometric.Well you cant get any more geometric than a spiral.I guess I mean with points instead of curves.Like triangles,But you could incorporate the "sprialy" designs into the "pointed" designs as well
