Quote - If you can do the shapes I would do the textures
Ah, there in lies a problem. My modelling skills are virtually none existent. The cherries and pear are just spheres produced in UV Mapper, and deformed by magnets in Poser. The leaf and stalk were pruned from a flower, that was in turn created by a wonderful little application that automatically produces flower objects. The chains came from figures generated by Cage's "chain_maker4b.py". So no real modelling apps were harmed (or even used) in the production of the geometry for the Cherry Rings.
I would be very interested in collaborating with you on some more earrings (or what ever), as I have a great respect for your abilities with materials and textures, but I feel that we would probably need a third conspirator, someone who could model and UV map the pendant geometry.
I do have one more earrings figure on the back burner (see above), but it uses very simple geometry like disks and squares, and deformed spheres and cubes. It would be nice to have a some slightly more complex geometry. I probably could make a banana, but I'm sure it would take me at least ten times longer with Poser magnets than it would for someone with a few modelling skills.
