Help me find sapphire earrings for Grandma!

[Independent Gal]

I was just visiting my dad's family and my grammy was admiring my sapphire and diamond RHR. Sapphire is her birthstone and she mentioned that she had never had one. I think she's turning 87 this year (or is it 88?) so I think it's time already! She doesn't wear RHR's, so I think earrings would be the way to go.

Can you folks help me find a pair? I'm open to suggestions, but here are some parameters:

- Nothing too fussy, preferably studs (she's a 'modernist' when it comes to style... all clean lines and simplicity)
- Not more than $200 (is that possible?)
- Heat treated is fine (don't think she'd care, and she's not really a jewelry buff)
- Not yellow, not too bright a pink, but open to any other shade.
- white gold

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi IG, how nice of you! I went to Adam''s site and noticed that he has more blue sapphires now, i did not find any pairs but am pretty sure he will find them if you ask.

Intriguing! What would $200 get me?

IG....how sweet of you!

I''d probably look for blue ones, just because most folks who aren''t into jewelry assume sapphires are blue.

I bought a small pair of pink sapphs from this company: http://www.ajsgems.com/SAP/SAP-Pairs.htm and was very pleased.

Good luck!

Oooh! Ahhh! Purty AND affordable. Thanks Widget. It''s hard to know how to choose between the ones on the AJS website. The colour mostly looks the same (I''m not so good at sapphs, I guess). Are there any that look particularly good to you ladies who are more skilled?

Great site, Widget! They don''t sell earring mountings, do they? Where did you get your settings from?
