Tsavorite & Benitoite earrings

[Kismet]

I purchased both the tsavorites and benitoites from ACS ages ago and I finally sent them off to be set with Andrew Sarosi. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out. The diamonds are 5 pointers. The benitoites are attached to the lever backs but everything else moves so they're a bugger to photograph, so apologies for the blurry photos.

Gorgeous combo, Kismet. Lovely earrings. Enjoy wearing them.

 

[FrekeChild]

Super combo! Great stone selection, great design and just great everything. I'm going to add another element of challenge - can you photograph the profile and the back? Please? Hey, I'm not even asking for ear shots.

Today must be Fabulous Earrings Day! Kismet, you have an amazing eye when it comes to stones. Those benitoites are so...well, BLUE and those tsavs are so Green with the ever so slight hint of blue - or are they just looking that way next to the benitoites?

Anyway, they are gorgeous. Did you design them, or did you leave the design entirely to Andrew Sarosi?

I just love the color on both stones, and the buttery gold, workmanship. Just beautiful.

 

[Lovinggems]

Thank you Fly Girl, FrekeChild, Movie Zombie, Arketia, Enerchi, Chrono, TL, Lovinggems and Pinkjewel for your nice comments! I'll try to get ear shots and profile shots tonight.

The tsavs are pretty much a straight medium green. If they have a blue undertone I couldn't see it.
I decided on the basic configuration and they decided on the semi-bezels instead of prongs or full bezels. The semi-bezels are nice because it give them that stepped art deco look.

A profile shot.


A pic of the back.


*does Jedi mind trick thing* "You will ignore the grey hairs." And an ear shot.

Did you say something about hair? Nah, must be my imagination. Thanks for the profile pictures. As always, Sarosi's workmanship is impeccable.

 

[movie zombie]

[pregcurious]

The look very well constructed. Great combo.

 

[TravelingGal]

Those came out lovely! Will be perfect to wear for summer (and year round, of course!)

I want to marry your earrings. Screw my fiance, those earrings could be faithful to me for life, I am sure of it.

 

[jstarfireb]

My favorite stones combined into one piece...love it!

 

[Kim Bruun]

It's a surprising combination, but it actually works. Your benitoites look very blue indeed, which is what allows them to stand toe to toe with the gorgeously saturate tsavorites. Striking and lovely!

I think it's a fantastic combo as well!

Haha, you made me laugh. I'm keeping my husband and the earrings on the side. Best of both worlds.
