Hi Marshmallow, No it is not easier to tell. I thought they were earrings. Then you waid they are upside down. Now I have to go with my first impression. Little pewter people where the heads have been replaced by three translucent purple beads. Don't ask me why you did that. But it's very SciFi. Just the baddies for your home movie. How original you are! Beats me what these things are. I mind take all kind of directions. Of course I have a good imagination. OH!!! Fishing loures!!! I got it! Bsteph
