Those are beautiful! I think it''s great that they can be worn as individual jackets, too. Earshots would be lovely

Earshots will have to wait until the wedding photographer sends us proofs and I get permission from my wife to post her face online but here is the final design.

Fabulous CCL and I am sure that your wife looked lovely in them.

I got a real kick out of your post this moring and your referral to your wife. I am certain that your wedding must have been wonderful. Congratulations and may you both have many, many years of happiness together.

PS: We''re not a demanding bunch, we don''t need to see her entire face (which would be lovely), just a peek at her ears in those beauties will do.

Now how can we assist you in your 1st wedding anniversary project. Don''t listen to all that phooey about paper!!

They really did turn out just perfectly. Do the dangles just slide off the metal they are hooked onto on the hoop earring? Is there something usually there to stop them from sliding off accidently?

I agree we don''t need to see your wife''s entire face, just the earrings on her ear. Thanks so much for sharing this project with us.

If you look at the profile shot you will see the connecting piece that slides onto the hoops is larger than the space. It requires force and to be at just the right angle to be attached. I do worry about that space becoming larger as the gold bends a bit so my Wife won''t be changing the configuration very often but as it stands now it safely won''t loose the dangling part. I''ve been encouraging my wife (heh I like the sound as I say it Wife) to wear the earrings during the day or for less formal occasions with just the larger bottom stones but she is very conservative and has thus far refused

Well they are very very dressy earrings. Maybe you need to take her to dinner at a FANCY place to see her wear them. Or buy/create another less dressy dangle to go with the hoops!

Beleive me I tried that

but I think she might have the right idea about these being summer and spring earrings great for Florida and light colors, but less so when she is wearing dark blue or black when its -10 Degrees and snowing outside in Montreal. I'm considering getting a pair of tanzanite cushions in the same style for a present maybe for our one year anniversary and getting them haloed by Ocean in the same style as well so she can wear the earrings with "wintery" bottoms. Tanzanite or Amethyst not sure yet. Maybe the dangles can be just bezel set in White Gold alone and still match well not sure.

If you ask me, they are PERFECT winter earrings. Icy blue and white? Can''t beat that.

She likes the blue color in the shoe of your avatar for winter :) I could argue your point but I will lose badly

BEAUTIFUL shot of the earrings on her ear!!

OK so what I think you are saying is that the dark colors of her clothing in winter make the earrings look colorless or very pale.

So I would go with a darker stone for the winter or maybe just brighter like Spess.

TFS!!
