I would like to make an Earring which is closed at upper and at the lower side.  
I have tried several was, but no good result.  
Is there someone who can help me with this?  
See the photo, to see wat I mean. ![33274E96-F8F9-4BDB-8C85-AE9F1B203240](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/0/0b9aaa29a73ada75b1bb4305814002546e0d5217.jpeg)

Hi would you be able to include a pic on the final design idea (something that resembles it, or a hand-drawn sketch)?

It looks to me that you should Rotate profiles that are more or less rounded but are the same height. It looks like 2 or 3 would make your sketch. Not sure how you would blend them together but then create a shell. Maybe cut with a slanted jagged body that provides your cutouts? May try to do this later…

Best,

Tommy

On second thought, I would try to create a 3D ribbon which I would copy, Rotate and distort around the earring with the Transform tool.

Best,

I think that this is what you meant? Because my english is not so well. I’m Dutch. But I am very thankfull, that you helped me with this.  
I learn every time I am drawing. In the end I like to make jewelry with my printer. That’s why I try some basic forms.
