Rather upscale Borrowers decorating with gold!
Well, if that's all that was available to them -- one makes do with whatever one can find, no?
I really can't imagine what use they'd have for earrings.
Depends on the shape of the earring... I used to have one pair which would have made excellent embroidery/mounting hoops :) One of them *did* for all I know, since I only have a single now. I suppose they thought they were being fair -- one for you and one for me -- but I'd as soon they took both (one for the mother one for the daughter; skills ought to be passed to the younger generation <g>)...
Some (the French wire) would make good, sturdy hooks. Some (the stud type) might serve as door and furniture knobs... It's been some years since I read the books (and can't re-read them, as Danek took them with him) but, as I remember it, the Borrowers were very inventive folk and strictly of the "waste not, want not" kind (I approve <g>)
