I'm in love with these!!!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

I just realized I never posted any pics of the necklace. So here's my earring, ring and necklace set! I still need to take better pics, but these will do for now (and I wanted to keep them all together, I know the thread is really old!)

I wonder if others tell Freke that same thing?

I love the story of how your earrings came together. They were definitely meant to be.

The earrings are so beautiful! I love how the colors go together. So would we call the set a parure or a demi parure? Or would you need a tiara to call it that?

great colors and they're lovely and delicate!

 

[Scarlett1]

Absolutely stunning

Pretty pretty pretty! I can't get over how that 2nd matching spinel showed up in your life. All meant to live together!

Freke, those earrings are so pretty!!! Dainty, too. I'll bet you enjoy them bobbing a little when you move your head.... okay, I would!

 

[Catmom]

GAH, Absolutely.LOVE.The.Entire.Set!!!

 

[misskittycat]

Love the earring drops!! So cool and I adore that they are different. The pink sapphires really heighten the lavenderness (is that a word? I'm making it a word) of your beautiful spinels. Congrats on a fabulous custom piece!

 

[minousbijoux]

I'm so happy these unique drops are having a second go round of attention. They are so deserving - as is the whole suite!

 

[chrono]

Such jewellery never gets old.

 

[FrekeChild]

Thanks everyone! I feel lucky to have pieces that go so well together. I decided I couldn't come back without better pictures, and I had a little bit of time today, so here you go!

And some fire

 

[FrekeChild]

Who says colored stones can't play with fire?!

 

[FrekeChild]

Last one!

Thanks for looking (again!)

 

[missy]

Freke, I just love your new pics and I am in awe of the beauty of your gems!!! So gorgeous-I really love the color combo!
Could we get some modeling pics?

The earrings are so beautiful! I love how the colors go together. So would we call the set a parure or a demi parure? Or would you need a tiara to call it that?

A tiara, a broach, a bracelet, lets see, what else...

Wiki:
A matching suite of coordinating pieces could include a necklace, a comb, a tiara, a diadem, a bandeau, a pair of bracelets, pins, rings, drop earrings or cluster stud earrings, brooch and a belt clasp that might be worn over a fine dress.

What the heck is a bandeau?

eBay:
A demi parure is a matching set of jewelry, usually containing a necklace, earrings, and/or a pin.
EXAMPLES:
Necklace and Matching Earrings
Bracelet and Matching Necklace
Bracelet and Matching Earrings
Pin/Brooch and Matching Earrings
Pin/Brooch and Matching Necklace
Pin/Brooch and Matching Bracelet
If you have more pieces that match they are called a Parure. If you have all the pieces that were designed as a set, they are called a Grand Parure.

Well heck! Seems as though most of the people on PS have demi-parures with that definition!

I think next up would be a bracelet, but it'll be a long long LONG time before I get there!

It's totally a word. hahaha!!!! Love it!

Thank you!

 

[FrekeChild]

Thank you guys so much for coming back and posting on my thread. These have been some of my favorite projects, and wouldn't have been possible without a few other PSers (SB261, I am looking at you!!!!)

 

[Kelli]

Whoa. I WANT.

 

[minousbijoux]

You know I love these pieces. The stones alone would make any jewelry really, really pretty, but your design is delicate and original and it makes these pieces truly spectacular - particularly those drops, and particularly in the sun
