Always in search for an earring, I tried an idea with a stainless bicycle spoke. I like it.

Step 1: The Spoke

I asked the cat at the bike shop for rhe biggest diameter, longest, stainless steel spoke he had. Cost $2.....dang!

Step 2: Other Parts & a Plan

I had been thinking of this one for a while.

What I did was cut the head of the spoke off. I then cut my length desired from above the threads at other end.

From there I bent my mini spoke and filed head and shaft to fit for solder.

I used Silverbrite 100 lead free solder and the bead I added covers the sweat joint.

The hardest part was securing the two together while while several attempts where made in the solder department.

Several tries and time on a file to beautify, I used some Krazy Glue to set the bead and I was ready for a test fit.
