I've been busy today and finally finished these wonderful little hoops! These little charms can be easily swapped out for other little charms. These are pink sapphires. I have other pictures of pearl drops and flower medallion charms that can also used, see--Hoop hoop Horay for more pictures:)
No, black star sapphire is not the name of my favorite band-- they're fabulous stones that I can't get enough of! As you can probably tell from the first photo-- this pair is not perfectly matched but I decided to do earrings anyways. I figured since they will be on either side of my face-- you won't be able to closely compare them against each other. Why didn't I get matching pairs? Well, I got these stones for a deal! Retail-- these stones would probably run about $50 a piece. I love them and I can't wear them enough! Maybe I'll spurge for another pair!
I'm loving this Swiss Blue Topaz that I found. Here's a picture of some stacking rings I made. Just imagine what this would look like with a 18k yellow gold bezel! I think that will be my next project. I'm also finishing up a blue moonstone ring--I'll post pictures after this weekend. Also on the "almost finished list"--I'm also almost finished with 2 broaches that I've been working on-- I'm hoping that I can finish them this weekend too.
Here's the picture of the Cherry Blossom Earrings I had promised. These are made from fine silver and the stones are beautiful cabochon-cut pink sapphires. These little guys are so easy to wear-- I plan to do some more in moonstones and some gorgeous blue Swiss topaz I just found!
