Keyed in


(Sorry for all the puns!)

I made these earrings for a friend who studied computer science. The particular letters "G" and "E" were selected because they're the recipient's initials, and I had to leave the navigation nub with the "G" because the key looked a little weird with its corner missing. I also think the nub gives it a funny touch. I think these earrings are particularly special because the keys are from one of my old lap top keyboards.

I put holes in the keys using a drill press, but this could also be easily done using a hand drill. I attached the nub to the "G" key using epoxy.
