WTB A pair of small OECs

[Avondale]

I have this project in mind:



But since I really like the earrings, I figured I could try to find another pair of OECs to use for the ring and keep the earrings as they are.

The sapphire is roughly 7x6mm, these particular OECs in the earrings are G-H, approximately 3,6 - 3.7mm each, at about .18 - .19ct. The proportions are great, so I'd like to keep it roughly in the same area. Although the sapphire could look good with a bit bigger side stones, I'd rather stay below 4mm. Plus, I don't want to spend much right now.

If anyone has a suitable pair they have and are not using, or has seen one for sale, please let me know.

A secondary option is a cheapish pair of lab diamonds to put in the earrings after I take the OECs out of them, so I'm also accepting suggestions for that. Although my go-to for that might be the jeweller I work with on the ring, depending on the price they offer. I have yet to ask.

ETA: I'm in the EU.

I thought you wanted to sell your sapphire and got so excited for a minute because it's stunning! Good luck with finding the right diamonds

I really like these. They look like they might be real performers. As you say, however, just have to be mindful of the warmth.

If that’s OK, they could be great candidates

Thank you, DK! I'll admit Ivy and Rose was the first place I looked but their matched pairs are a tad too big, I really want to keep the spending to a minimum, especially considering this search is more or less a frivolity when I already have the perfect diamonds. I keep checking their store every now and again for a really small pair, but alas, no luck just yet.

You're right, they're definitely bigger, and don't fit the goal of not spending too much - add shipping, duties and VAT, and we're well above the 1k mark.

But they're preeeeety! Actually very much like the current pair that I like so much and want to keep.

You're gonna laugh now.

These are perfect.

So perfect I already bought them. They're the earrings you see in my photo that I'm trying to potentially save.
