~~~~ It all depends on who is wearing them and what sort of earrings they like. If they like big statement earrings, then anything up to 5-6cm long and wide (for the origami part, not including the drop) is acceptable. (But the origami needs to be quite flat, otherwise it'd be too chunky). If the person prefers dainty, then 0.7cm would probably be the minimum. Any smaller and it'd be too small. If you are not sure, anything between 1-1.5cm would be ok for most people. Just go to a jewellery store and check out their range of drop earrings and you'll get a guide. (Unless you are making stud earrings, in which case, I'd recommend no more than 1.5cm wide and 1.5cm long maximum.) Winnie
