I have a question- are the sapphires faceted? And do they sparkle or does the resin actually cover the sapphires and they have more of a "gleam"?

That's an excellent question! I'll have to check it out today and I'll get back to you.

They are so sweet, I love the texture the sapphires gives rough but delicate. I may have missed some posts above, but could you slip off the earring and wear as a pendant on a small chain?

Yes! The souffles are totally removable from the hoop (and the hoops are totally usable plain or to hang other pearls on!).

Okay, so I just went and looked at them in the bathroom. I am pleased and relieved to report that they totally sparkle as I walk around them and as I move them in my hand. I don't know anything about gems, so you'd have to ask Hisano if they are faceted. Light does bounce off the surface textures. They are indeed set in a shallow "pool" of clear resin but sparkle through it. I just can't capture the sparkling with my cell phone -- just like I can't catch the sparkle of diamonds, either. Here are a few more shots:

Okay, calm down, Confection!

I paired the earrings with my white metallic and citrine neclace so the oranges could play off each other:







I don't know why I bothered to "giraffe it" to hide my face -- you all know what I look and sound like now!

As expected, they look lovely on you. The colors works so well with your skin and dark curls. I really like them with that necklace -- you might even consider slipping one of the earrings on an enhancer hoop to wear with that necklace.

Bsomlo, there are no words for just how pretty these delightful earrings look on you! Perfect colors for you, and I agree; they look fabulous with that necklace!!! Kay's right about one pendant as an enhancer on that necklace ... you need a 3rd "earring" ... if you have to spllt another souffle let me know, I'll take the other half LOL ... Congratulations :clap: :clap: :clap:

Kay, I never would have thought of that! I don't have any enhancers but I may slip the hoop onto the necklace and play around!

Thanks for your enthusiasm, everyone. I really like the pop of color and I'm so glad Hisano recommended the hoop.

Unfortunately, pictures absolutely don't do these earrings justice...

OH. MY. GOODNESS. those are AMAZING!!! so perfect, so perfect with the citrine/pearl necklace, so perfect on you! Good job, Hisano and Bsomlo!

(ps if you have any clasping earwire earrings like this http://www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h209319fy you can use one of those as an enhancer quite readily, if you don't happen to own one already)

thanks for checking =) they really are lovely and look spectacular on you. The small hoops are the perfect complimentary size to them and what a great idea to get an enhancer so that you can wear one of them as a pendant,too.

eta- Great photo!!!!! It really helps to put them in perspective. Your dark curls are the perfect backdrop- well done!!!!!!! :appl:

Proving once again that pearls, and jewels, look best when being worn by a lovely woman. :))

Those are both so gorgeous on you. :wavey:

I love the fire goddess. She reminds me of something moving through the cosmos...

The earrings/necklace combo are fantastic! Love how the earrings look with your skin and hair (they just pop). :appl:

I like seeing faces with pearls, my favorite; metallics and citrine strand together with the soufflés.

Get out of here!!! Let me go confirm this!

2 minutes later: Just checked and it's true! I'm so honored! I happen to be wearing them this very moment -- I wore them to a birthday celebration and a man commented that he liked my earrings!
