The one with the silver links seems too bulky and the other isn't the right shape. I can see it clearly but can't explain. Vexing it is!
Here's another from miraba.net which is similar to this artistic interpretation.
Neither of the pieces capture what I picture in my head. I tend to imagine it more as an open square piece of netting or gauze, curled up slightly at each edge, with the blue stone fully exposed in the centre. Will try and draw what I mean but the times I have tried, I haven't been able to quite get down exactly what I'm thinking of! Will also try and find quotes re the earring from the text. The possible meanings behind it makes me nuts. Silver and blue are just too coincidental (in connection with the Skill and Fitz) for me! Of course, I'm stuck on such meanings behind the jewellery and the colours within the books, as can be deduced from the Others Island thread!
This is an interpretation of Shrewd's pin for Fitz, made by the same person who made the earring on the Craftster site.
Will see what else I can find to post here...am sure there's even Kettricken's fox pin around somewhere.
Apologies for the British spelling of 'jewellery' in the thread title but apparently we Aussies (and Poms) like to add extra letters for no apparent reason...
Oh, I should add that I plan to do a silversmithing course when the opportunity presents itself, and fully envisage making this earring for myself, once my skills have reached a level that enable me to get the job done well.
Oh and it's not a case of adding extra letters, more like them being omitted for no apparent reason
