Draw your earrings and we will turn them into 3d.
Instructions:
1) Download Sketch Sheet
2) Scan the sketch sheet and save the image.
3) Click "Personalize" and upload the image.
4) Order your earrings in your choice of material. Shapeways will turn your drawing into a printable 3D model, and ship it to you.

You can also do it yourself with our 2D to 3D design tool, and upload a black and white .jpg. You'll just have to add your own earring hooks and get the measurements correct. Note that it doesn't support multicolored image nor it would treat the image as texture. The image will only be used for bumping the depth on the surface.

A matching pair of earrings, resembling small twigs.
Absolutely stunning in the new Premium Silver!
These are actual photos!

Also wonderful in the other metal finished.
For example, the steel printing process adds an almost natural texture to the twigs.
Which also works very well in bronze or gold finishes!

Silver earring hooks included, courtesy of Shapeways!
One twig is approximately 30x19x7mm.

These filigree earrings look delicate almost like lace, yet are flexible and very resilient and should last you a life time assuming a monkey doesn't eat them. They are so light that you wouldn't even know you are wearing them.

Here they are shown in the "White Strong & Flexible" material, but are also available in other colors as well as silver. They are each about 1.5 inches long and .75 inch wide.

Earring with a head similar to Escher's works such as Bond of Union and Head in Clouds.

This model contains only one earring. To get the pair put a quantity of 2 in the shopping cart.

Not available in Detail material because of lack of rigidity.

Though these earrings may resemble an xenomorphic sea creature, we can neither confirm nor deny that they were modeled after any organism living, dead, or bearing any blood relation to our board of directors.

These earrings are sized for 18 gauge piercings and should fit most people with pierced ears. If you need a different size, just ask! I have a few larger gauges already available in the shop, and can resize it to a custom gauge if it's not already there.

Disclaimer on the images: any photos labeled "polished" are stainless steel that has been hand polished with a dremel. The stainless that you order will have more of a texture to it. I haven't yet made these for myself in bronze glossy, gold plated glossy, or either types of silver, but if you want the highly polished look your best bet is going to be silver glossy.

The worst ear plug the internet has to offer. Use this size for gauges up to 1" in diameter. Designed with a slightly raised rim for a snug fit.

To Clarify: These earplugs are sold individually, not in pairs!

If you need a size larger than 1" diameter, please PM me and let me know what size you need. I'll want to scale up the hands and adjust the ring thickness accordingly to make sure it stays light enough to wear comfortably.

The printed copy shown is a 7/16" version printed in white detail material. I recommend this material, as it is more comfortable for wear and has a smoother look.

Make sure to specify a size in the Co-Creator Template, there is no standard size for this model!

For standard sizes up to 00 gauge, you'll want this model:
