My parents bought me the diamonds as studs a year or two ago and I don't wear studs, so after much deliberation (3 stone ring or earrings? local jeweler or abroad?)I sent them to Sally and she set them along with two heat only Ceylon sapphires, around 5mm each and 1.3ct total weight. The fronts of the earrings are 20k and the back are 14k. I love them and they will be my daily wear earrings. They seem secure enough for that.

Oh gosh, those are gorgeous! Different from the usual, too -- wearing them every day is a SUPER idea!

Thanks gang! I searched and searched online for inspiration earrings to come up with these. I finally found an antique pair with the same look, and asked for hammering around the sapphires because I love that look on my star sapphire Iolani ring from Sally. The searching took a long time but they were really worth the wait!

Really gorgeous. Everything is so clever, from the leverback design to the proportions to the textured gold. I'm not a yellow gold fan but I find myself wanting a pair of earrings like these!

those are lovely!! do you mind posting contact information for Sally? I'm new here and tho I've been lurking for weeks I haven't learned all the jewelers / stores /abbreviations yet! I have a pair of diamond studs I need to get reworked also - I was thinking into a ring but I'm loving what you did!

No problem Lily! You can find her on Etsy if you search HeartofWaterJewels. I love all of my pieces from her.

Thanks so much MissKitty, woofmama, velouria, hotpozzum and Minou (again! :) I feel very special wearing these. I had felt a bit guilty converting the studs from my parents but once they see these I think they will understand.
