The pink sapphires are lovely. What a nice rut to be stuck in!

@Catmom - It is gorgeous! Have you thought about wearing it as a pendant on a plain silk necklace cord? I think a black cord would really make the colors pop.

 

[Catmom]

OMG...those wings! What gorgeous color!!

Aww thanks MissyBeaucoup!

I have a silver cord. I'll see what it looks like on that. A black cord would be cool.

Argh! It’s beautiful. Truly just beautiful. I have visions of that being mounted in a hard bangle for your wrist. Wouldn’t that be fabulous???

As my husband says...so, another bug has followed you home huh. LOL, Indeed. And it's another dragonfly...sigh....I must be in a rut. But it's a nice rut! It's a graduated pink sapphire and diamond bug in 18kt white gold. A pin of course but it can also be worn as a pendant which will probably never happen lol. My defense, he's very sparkly!

I really like this one. The pink wings are just gorgeous!

Thanks elle_71125! I really like the graduated pink on the wings.

Thank you for this family pic!!! You have such a gorgeous and diverse collection of critters - I love how different they all are! Your latest adoption fills a niche

So tell us - which do you wear most often? Why?
Do you ever wear more than one at once?
How do you wear them?

Thanks yssie! There isn't really one I wear more often, maybe the yellow diamond one and the blue butterfly? The pink dragonfly will get a lot of wear this spring/summer. I wear a lot more pink during those times. I wear a lot of blue all year long, especially cobalt blue which I love and I wear my yellow diamonds quite often. My opal dragonfly doesn't get as much wear now that I have my art deco opal brooch. The peridot/amethyst dragonfly is more summer colors for me. I do like to wear the flower pin with my butterfly. Maybe I will see what it looks like to add the pink dragonfly in with that mix.

I like to wear them on sweaters which is really a three season thing where I live, lol. Unless it's a V neck, pendants don't really work with sweaters. I wear my pendants more during the summer.

@Catmom I came across this auction today and thought of you. The asking price is crazy high, but the details are beautiful!
