[blinkydoll]

Yay-- So.. a Long time ago...Jan of 08.... I wanted to Get all my Oec..& Tran diamonds set into earrings.
Welp--I got them done!
ok--- old thread
Project start thread

OKie-- stats--- total 1.66 ( 6 is my fave number--so this works perfectly)
I got all the diamonds on ebay, very affordablllly. The biggest was a .60 OEC,,, which I got for an awesome price because the person selling advertised it as a .50. the other big oec spreads close to the .60 diameter..

ok-- nuff talk--- more pics

Ditto! They''re fabulous blinky!
What would you call that effect of the lil dots of gold around the edges - its not milgrain,
I''ve not really seen it before - and really like it!
Your local jeweller always does great work, I am envious !

 

[blinkydoll]

Thank you for your nice words!
i''m so excited about these.

This is the first time I used this jeweler for a custom job---- the price was excelent--- but the service--was a little

.... but they came out nice

I have been *waiting* to see some of your loose babies set...these are the old-cut earrings I've been looking for all my life, ha!

[ok more like "dreaming of" than "looking for"]

SO GORGEOUS. Congrats on seeing thorough such a lovely execution.

You will think about giving us an ear shot, yes?

HI arjunajane--- I LURVE your pieces! thank you!
I asked my jeweler for milgrain---- and he did this.... not exactly what i envisioned.... but it works. He did a few things that he didn''t think i needed to know

lol--- oh well i guess
