Your work is beautiful. I don't wear jewelry beyond my wedding ring, so it's definitely not "my thing"--HOWEVER, I would SERIOUSLY LOVE a set of the Fullmetal Alchemist charms set individually on lobster-claw closures to make --- KNITTING MARKERS----!!
Ones with a lobster claw are MUCH easier for those of us who knit and crochet to use in either craft--the loop ones do not work for crochet. http://babycakescreates.com/tag/stitch-markers/
There are more themes and styles than I can easily describe-- do a search for "stitch marker" sets and you may be pleasantly surprised. You've already got the skills, but this is a way for those of us who don't like jewelry to also get our geek on!
A note- I picked interesting, non-Pinterest images completely at random. There were PAGES of results, and I didn't even bother to specify a niche like BBC Sherlock. Seriously, check this out as another avenue for your existing skills and interests. Expect a PM soon for the FMA idea!

Many have a plain loop of wire (or nylon, or cord) like this:

Many stitch markers are simply a closed jewelry link, sometimes shaped but often not, with a small bead glued over the seam to prevent snagging, like this:
