Gotta Get These Earrings

[lazypadawan]

I admit I'm drawn to things that look like Star Wars but aren't. For instance, I can't afford the Lapponia necklace used at the end of ANH (though you can find knockoffs on Etsy). But last September, while poking around the accessories spread at Topshop in Chicago, I found a necklace that looked fairly similar without being an on-the-nose replica. For 40 bucks. Mine! (Unfortunately it's no longer available.)

Well, for YEARS I've wanted the earrings Padmé wears when she first encounters Anakin again in ROTS:



I've looked and looked never found anything quite like it. Then recently while at Tiffany, I spotted these close approximations:

Sure, they're $175, but they'll great for all kinds of uses and never go out of style.

Actually, those earrings would be pretty simple to make with basic jewelry supplies from Michaels or something. Wonder if I have the right stuff on hand...

I have zero skills with that sort of thing. I leave it to the experts.
