Tindie

A friend introduced me to the basic earrings (pink type) Sander's makes when he gave them as a gift to my girlfriend on her birthday. I really liked them, but knowing she likes blue, tracked down shop and purchased these Spiral ones. Absolutely worth it. Very happy with purchase. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Sizing: Earrings are a tad over 1" it seems in diameter. They are not small, but at the same time they don't feel too big. About the size of an artistic hanging earring that isn't garish.

Quality: Brightness of LEDs is great! Patterns are interesting. The product feels quality made. Only thing I would change is finding some way to cover the capacitor that stores battery power, but having this is a great trade off for these being USB-C CARGEABLE! :)))

Logistics: Shipping happened quickly and the packaging was excellent.

Instructions: Instructions were kind of hidden attached under the lid of the box. took a while to find. Since I bought two other items that had free floating instruction cards, I didn't think to look under the lid until later on this item. Would prefer this to be standardized, but don't want to mark down what is otherwise super clear and thoughtful documentation.

awesome gift!

Really well made, bit smaller than expected but that's a good thing. I was worried they would be too big to wear.

They don't take the usual CR3032, something to pay attention to.

Beautiful but one LED not working.

For Pink and Gold finish Spiral LED earrings (pair)

The earrings are as pretty as pictured and imagined. Unfortunately one of the LEDs isn't working which probably won't be very noticeable using the animated modes.

Sorry to hear that you have issues with one of the LEDs. I will send you a replacement right away! You want the full light show experience ;)
Thanks, Sander

Flashy but subdued

I love those. No quite as agressive as the skull earrings. But really chill and pleasant.
Pretty and golden.

Looking fantastic

For TO-THE-MOON rocket pin with animated engine

The pink LED are super eye catching and sparkling.
The blink pattern of the skull earrings are very cool.

Awesome rocket!

I bought this because I love rockets and LED's. It's a great little pin and it looks, and performs, just as it says in the product description.

Gorgeous and so clever!!!

For Refurbished Fibonacci - 104 LEDs Earrings

These earrings are so lovely and the LEDs are so small it feels much more like jewelry than electronics. The code for the designs is clever, mesmerizing to watch, and fun to play with using the button in the back - though I agree that the explanation of the button pressing sequence is a bit hard to understand. They're extremely well done overall. It's so hard to make LED wearables look like actual clothing or accessories rather than electronics slapped on top of standard clothing. These are truly beautiful dynamic art you can wear.

Awesome Earrings!

For Refurbished Fibonacci - 104 LEDs Earrings

I purchased several of these for my daughters. Works great and looks awesome!
Changing the modes is a little confusing with the single button press.

Fun

Such a simple and fun addition to my collection and super bright. I would make sure to remove the batteries before storage to prevent them from draining empty.

Great Product

Shipping was fast and easy, packaged well, and ...

As the receiver said, one word, Awesome!

cheers

The recipient loved them

For Sun and Moon LED earrings (pair)

As the buyer I was extremely happy with the communications and shipping and the recipient of my gift loved them, said the instructions were clear and simple and the product was high quality and `super cool`, she loved them.

John | June 10, 2020

Wife loved it!

My wife is an artist and I am an engineer. She loved these earrings. They were the perfect mix of the two of us and the flashing really made her stand out. They worked great!

Snazzy earrings!

For Tiniest Arduino compatible board with Micronucleus

These earrings are super nice, bright LEDs with a bunch of interesting animation patterns. The power button is a bit sensitive so they tend to turn on when being handled so I have to be very careful to make sure they are off when I put them away. As a result, one showed up with a dead battery. No big deal, I have plenty of batteries!

Brilliant

This is a great little dev board and it is going to help me quite a bit for my little use case or idea. The button and the on-board LED really add a nice touch and allow for quick testing/prototyping. I did have a minor issue that I think is worth sharing, though it is not necessarily the seller's responsibility: the micronucleus binary that is required for programming these is outdated in the packaged version that is importable through arduino IDE by following the instructions in the description. This is an easy fix however, and some guy had the same problem a few years ago and was nice enough to put a step-by-step on how to fix it on the internet, so, for anyone who might need this: https://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1834.msg8364.html?PHPSESSID=55loa1kchd4rqjqmbedaojno77#msg8364

Anyway, I am very pleased with this little board. I also want to thank the seller for helping me deal with some annoying shipping issues and responding quickly to my messages!

Great PCB earrings with beautiful packaging

These are a great blend of artistic and nerdy. I got the set with the color splashes as a gift for a family member. They were well done and beautifully packaged, I think the recipient will really love them!

Bill | Jan. 1, 2020

Gift for Granddaughter, she was very pleased to get them.

These earrings are very neat, cool , whatever you want to say. I had saw them on Tindie for a while and with Christmas coming up, I decided to get some for my Granddaughter. Will possibly order more from seller in future.

Thank you,

Bill Jones

Beautiful earrings! I love them.

Really fun and creative earrings. I love the style and design.

I wish they featured two things -- an ability to turn the brightness up/down, and an extra set of batteries included.

Otherwise, they're perfect.

Response from California STEAM | Jan. 1, 2020

Thank you for the feedback. Implementing the ability to change the brightness should not be difficult to implement, I just have to figure out how to add a brightness option to the push button without making it too complicated. Unfortunately there are shipping restrictions on shipping batteries separate, but there are great options on Amazon for replacement batteries. Just search for CR1225 :)

Amazing

Makes an awesome gift! Great for artists and electronic enthusiasts alike!

Got these for my girlfriend & she loves them

These things are really a lot of fun & glad I purchased them. You do have to be a little careful with them so keep that in mind.

Good handmade work

A quirky, fun, handmade set of earrings. Something to light up the night!

They would be a good gift this time of year.
