Well, I came into these new earrings in a roundabout way. I started out looking for a .55-.60 stone for a pendant. I was so excited for Jellybean's new ring project that I opened my trap and suggested an Expert Selection stone - .55 J, SI1 - before considering that *I* may want that stone for myself!
Of course, Jellybean bought that stone, so I had to expand my search. I found a .57 J, SI2 stone from Wink that was nearly H&A for a similar price. This stone appealed to me because it had strong blue fluor, and I've been wanting to get a blue fluor stone.
In the meantime, Jellybean decided to upgrade to her present .72, so she returned the .55 Expert Selection stone. NOW what should I do, I thought....I have two great choices. As I began comparing them, an evil little thought occurred to me......these are SO well matched, they'd make great earrings! I'd wanted to get earrings around this size.....ESPECIALLY after Noobie posted his wife's new earrings (thanks a LOT, NOOBIE, for creating a monster
).
The net result is my new 3-prong, martini earrings. I have to say....I'm just amazed at how white they face up. Hard to tell from some of these pics because I had recess lighting. I've put these stones next to my H e-ring, and there is no face-up difference.
This was my first purchase from Wink, and I want to thank him for his prompt responses and how easy it was to work with him.
Thanks to all of you here, too, who replied to my inquiries asking for your experiences with Wink. I appreciate the time you took to help provide insights; that diligence makes purchasing from someone new so much easier.
This was my fifth purchase from Whiteflash, and as usual, they didn't disappoint. I sent Wink's stone to them, and they assured me both stones were extremely well matched and set them beautifully.
I'm still on the hunt for a pendant stone, which hopefully will materialize in the next month or two. Until then, I can enjoy these!
LOVE the arrows in these stones....YUM!
