I started making ear-wraps out of brass wire and I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out. My favorite is definitely the one with the shells it's super edgy =) You don't need any piercings to wear them, there is a wire in the back that wraps around your ear and keeps the ear-wrap in place. There are more pictures of them on my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/catchalljewelry
