MICHELLE:

I love, love all of your earrings, amazing!!!!

I am in a wedding at the end of this month and could reallllllly use the long drop pink sapphire earrings, could i borrow them?

Do you remember where they came from?

 

[Catmom]

Thanks icekid, marcyc and Sophie!

Sophie, I got them at a close out sale that a local jewelry store was having when they moved from being a mall store to a stand alone B&M.

Catmom,
Wow, you have quite a collection of earrings. It''s about time we showcase some pretty earrings in addition to all the rings and pendants.

 

[bookworm240]

Catmom - I knew you wouldn''t let me down!!!

Chrono - I agree. I searched "earrings" and mostly what came up were bridesmaids'' gifts.

I would like to amend this to encourage people to post favorite earrings as well as collections!!

I have two posted in the Guess the Gemstone game: a pair of moonstones and red spinel earrings. Do I have to repost them here?

Of course!

 

[chrono]

As requested, here''s my mini collection of coloured gemstone earrings. I''ll leave the diamond ones out.

First off is a pair of jadeite earrings.

 

[chrono]

You can see the translucency in this picture...well, at least before I shrank it.

 

[chrono]

I love my rainbow moonstones!

 

[chrono]

I''m a little horrified to see my reflection in the moonstones in the full size pictures.

I didn''t expect the cabochons to act like a mirror. It''s a good thing it''s blurry.

 

[chrono]

Last rainbow moonstone picture where I was finally able to capture some of the golden colour.

 

[Linda W]

CHRONO!! I LOVE your moonstone earrings

. Those are gorgeous!!! Wherever did you find those beauties?????? The jadeite are beautiful too.

Thank you, Linda. I am flattered. I purchased the earrings from ACS last year. They are cut and set by Ben Kho and I''d been eyeing them for months so when they were finally on sale, I jumped on them really quickly.

 

[chrono]

These are red spinels from ACS which I sent to WF to set in the Inspiration-Al style. They are removable charms which I currently switch out with a pair of Richard Homer traditional faceted Uruguayan amethysts.

A side view to show the jump hoop and very open basket setting.

 

[Catmom]

Chrono, I love your earrings especially the moonstone ones! They are all gorgeous.

 

[chrono]

Thank you Catmom. Your settings are all different and beautiful as opposed to my simpler and plainer style.

 

[chrono]

This is my second set of charms for the levelbacks. WF bent the connecting hoop at an angle so that the stones will always dangle vertically, and not at an angle. I like that they think about details like this.

 

[chrono]

Last one, I promise. I still have to set a pair of 6 mm round spessartites as charms to add to this leverback. I''m think about having them collet set this time.
