I'll see if I can at least post pics of the aubergine beads. They are very pretty. I haven't finished the earrings yet. I'm leaning away from colored earwires, though I could get niobium ones that wouldn't irritate the skin (the color is due to diffraction by an anodized layer, not a coating). Hm....
Edit: this picture looks a lot like the eggplant beads I have:
So if you really want them, you can buy them here:
