A little Christmas greenery.....

[aljdewey]

I promised this post to DiamondSeeker over a week ago, but I've had tech difficulties getting these photos to post, so hopefully it works out ok this time.

I wanted a nice tsavorite for a while, and I finally found it in the form of earrings. These 5mm stones are incredibly glowy, and they are set into studs that came with these fabulous square earring jackets. I was super excited to find these because I knew I'd want some diamonds around the tsavorites, but I wasn't really jazzed about the notion of buying something so similar to the round jackets I already have (which are just too small for these stones).

The squares gave me a way to get something different, which I loved. I also love the way these sit on the ear because they minimize the appearance of my uneven piercings. I find myself wearing them A LOT!

These are TO DIE FOR! So perfect for any time of year, but especially this season. They look like perfection on your ear!

Very pretty! I love the color of the stones and the square earring jackets. Those jackets are different and certainly lend a different look to the studs. Wouldn't have thought about the squares but I really do like them!!

Those are "wowzers"!!! We're they custom made in the square halo? I've never seen that setting before- or I'm cruising the wrong sites! Would you mind sharing where you found them? They look absolutely fantastic! great find and look stunning on your ears!

Colour. Style. Shape.

Stunning, Alj!!! Those are a gorgeous color!!! And I adore the jackets! I want round ones like that! Who made them? For that matter, the tsavorites are very tempting, too! You hardly ever see those in studs.

Thanks for all the kind sentiments, ladies.

The stones came from a fantastic vendor I've been working with, PrimaGems. He has some GORGEOUS stones, and the tsavorites he carries are just swoonable. Most of his business is done outside the web (though he's working on the architecture for one now). He had a more pairs of the 5mm; I've attached a pic from this weekend of some of what I saw for those. If anyone's on the hunt, let me know how to get his info to you.

The jackets came from Klim's on W. 47th in NYC. I think they had more of these in, but if not, Rosa (one of the owners) can get them in. These were a new item. If you say you're looking for square jackets like the ones she recommended for the woman with the tsavorites, she'll know exactly which ones you mean.

ETA: These tsavs are all the same color (like those on the right); there's just a reflection on the glass of the case.
