These are a pair of earrings that I have handmade but I’d like to translate them into a 3d model on shapr3d.  
I’ve spent about a week trying to figure out the best way to do this and haven’t managed to get a fluid look. Has anyone any ideas as to what to do? I’d really appreciate some advice  
Many thanks

Hi Ann,

It looks like a great task to get familiar with Shapr3D. Can you describe please how you tried to create the earring?

First I would start with that C shape which can be a simple revolved for about 270°.  
To make the fluid shape try to use the Loft command. Define the cross-sections by drawing some circle-kind shapes on new construction planes which are parallel to each other.

Please take a look at this video:
