I get a lot of requests for custom versions of these earrings, so I thought a post was in order to cover the different designs & sizes. So first, let's cover the different designs:
1) 3D spiral knots -- I can make these in different spiral configurations: double spirals, triple spirals, even single spirals if the rings are the right size and make it tight.

| Double spiral knots in 14k white gold fill |
 |
| Triple spiral knots in 14k rose gold fill |
 |
| Triple spiral knots in sterling silver |
|
2) Flat spiral knots -- These look like flat swirls, sort of reminiscent of a pinwheel. They usually have a hole or opening of some sort at the center, but if I pack enough rings into the design, the hole is almost not even noticeable.

| Flat spiral in gold fill & silver |
3) Fan knots -- These are a particular arrangement of a double/triple spiral knot, which means extra attention has to be paid when soldering these to the posts. The result is a knot that has one side of it fanned out like feathers.

Aside from knot styles, there are many different sizes as well -- I make extremely tiny ones (around 3-4mm), up to very large ones (half inch diameter or larger).

I often am asked about sizes and what they look like when wearing. I don't have any real "model" shots, as I would have to be my own model (front-facing cellphone cameras are not particularly good), but with the help of some mirrors and my regular phone camera, I have managed to snap a few.
I have also made some size comparison photos showing several sizes of earrings with known-size objects like a penny & rulers.

I hope this helps anyone looking at some of my knot earrings & wondering how big they really are!
