Chandaleir Earrings

[MINE!!]

I want to have some nice Chandalier earrings to wear with my wedding dress. My colors are going to be Hunter Green and a Calla Lily Yellow.

Should I buy the stones seperate? Which stones? Should I buy the stones and have the place I buy them from set them for me? Any suggestions on some stones that would be these colors? Citrine may be too pale yellow and Peridot too yellowish...

Not exactly sure what shade of green Hunter green is but here is a photo of some green-blue tourmaline. Perhaps smaller diameter crystal like these could be used as in natural state - free hanging polished crystals.

I have to guess what the colors are. To me "hunter green" is a kind of medium-dark brownish-yellowish green, and "calla lily yelow" is a light to medium-light, strongly yellowish green. Both can be had in tourmaline and beryl, even both in the same stone.

Citrine can be deep yellow, although you would need larger stones to achieve that.

Can you show a sample of the colors anywhere online ?

How about a pair of larger briolettes ? Finely cut ones look spectacular on ...

There are more greens and yellows where these comes from (LINK).

Oh...well, just could not refrain from posting this ! Perhaps your chandelier earrings could rain on colors like these as well ?

Sorry, cant take credit for the cutting - one of our cutters found that design to cut a sapphire crystal - the type we call dog tooth sapphires. Attach is photo showing the sapphire briolette and a typical example of a dog tooth crystal - the photo does not show the same stone but is just for your interest. This cut would look good in any stone I think - I like briolettes.
