Over the years I have made some fantastic ear weights, one at a time for one customer at a time, and promptly sent them off to homes without the ability to show them in their natural environment - being worn by truly unique people!
Some of the pieces I make have unusual insertion methods (Ghost in the Shell) or wearing surfaces that can be difficult to describe (iona) but are easy to show in a photo. I want to gather some beautiful photos of my customers showing off how you incorporate my work into your one of a kind style. As thanks, I would like to offer you $30 in credit toward your next order and a chance to win $100 in credit toward your next set of handmade ear weights.
I am specifically looking for well-photographed wear images of these styles with any stone inlay:
Here's what I am looking for in a good wear photo:
Submit your photos to jared@onetribe.nu - I will review them, issue your $30 credit and put you on the list for a drawing to win an additional $100 credit. If you own more than one design from my hands, I'll allow up to three entries per person and give you the $30 credit for each usable shot (up to $90), but only one entry per person into the raffle.
Obviously, by submitting your files, you allow me the right to use them. I may use them my website (on product pages, the homepage, whatever is necessary), as well as in print and on social media.

Wearing length is the area of the jewelry that fits inside your piercing.
Overall length (sometimes confused with wearing length) is the total measurement of the jewelry from face to face, including any additional flare or face area.
Diagram of jewelry styles with wearing length marked in green and overall length marked in red.
1. Flat face double flared plug. Wearing length is measured from the inside of the flare edges. Overall length is measured from face to face.
2. Convex face double flared plug. Wearing length is measured from the inside of the flare edges. Overal length is measured from face to face.
3. Flat face double flared plug with flat flares. Wearing length is measured from inside the flare edges (the piercing cannot rest on the flat flare areas). Overall length is measured face to face.
4. Trumpet flare style plug. The dotted line denotes where the wearing surface ends on the front, because the larger portion of the slope cannot fit inside the piercing. Wearing surface is measured from inside the rear flare edge to the area on the front flare with the same diameter measurement. Overall length is measured from face to face.
5. Sloped single flare plug. Wearing length is measured from where the slope of the flare ends to the end of the plug. Overall length is measured from face to face.
6. Top-hat style single flare with convex face. Wearing length is measured from the inside flare corner to the end of the plug. Overall length is measured from face to face.
7. Top-hat style single flare with curved rear. Wearing length is measured from the inside flare corner to the beginning of the curve (the piercing cannot rest on the slope). Overall length is measured from face to face.
8. Top-hat style single flare with groove for an o-ring. Wearing length is measured from the inside flare corner to the groove (the piercing cannot rest on the groove). Overall length is measured from face to face.
9. Labret (round or oval) with a standard concave t-back. Wearing length is measured from where the wearing shaft meets the wing to the end of the flat portion (the piercing cannot rest on the slope).
Overall length is always longer than the wearing surface because it includes other sections of the jewelry that do not rest inside the piercing. If you are ordering a piece of jewerly and you specify an overall length instead of a wearing length, your jewelry will not fit properly. Order using "overall length" at your own risk. Knowing your ideal wearing length, which can change as you stretch your piercings, ensures you're able to order jewelry that will fit well from every vendor, every time.
