My Christmas Turned Blue

[Catmom]

Or I should say my ears turned blue, sapphire blue that is lol. My fab hubby gave me some earrings for Christmas that are a pretty close match to my pendant and complete my sapphire suite. I have to say they are quite blingy. I do love them though. I took a few pics but the weather has been horrendous here. Either rainstorms or blizzards every day. We have had no sun since Dec. 13th and it doesn''t look like there is any better weather this coming week so no great photo shoots any time soon. So here they are, 4.77 CTs of sapphires and 1.14 ctw of diamonds.......

I''m thinking that I might talk to my jeweler to see if there is a way to fix them so that part of them can be detachable, maybe like charms so that I can wear them more often without feeling totally blinged out. Do you think that would look ok?

 

[Catmom]

Here''s a pic with my pendant. I think they are an almost perfect match.......

 

[Catmom]

Here''s another shot....... I still have to get the ear shot...I know...I know!

My oh my, those are blingtastic! What''s next, a tiara?

P. S. Lack of sun is no excuse for a real PS''er - there are different angles to try, various colors of background, light levels (use those dimmers)...

WOW, what a blingy set of earrings there. When you go to the Academy Awards, let me know how they look!! Nice!

 

[Fly Girl]

Awesome earrings, Catmom! I just love that you put together suites of jewelry. You are an inspiration to us all!

 

[Gailey]

OK Catmom, you definitely win the prize for the blingiest Christmas present. Very impressive.

I think you''re right about seeing if they can be detatched for less formal occasions. They might be a bit over the top for the supermarket run.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Blingy indeed! They are such a nice match for your set!

 

[risingsun]

They are gorgeous!!

 

[Skippy123]

Oh my gosh, those are GORGEOUS!!!! You have the BEST Collection!!! Awwww, what a sweet hubby!!! Yes, I think that is an excellent idea to have them detachable; you could go blingy for special events or detach and wear them out and about. Love them

Hmm, I don''t know, they just remodelled my supermarket. It might be up for the task.

 

[Catmom]

TL, I''ll let you know next time I''m at the Academy Awards.

Aww thanks Fly Girl. It''s my OCD......must have a matching set!

Thanks Making TheGrade and Marian!!!

Skip my friend, you are sooo sweet!

 

[tyty333]

Wow! Thoes earings are stunning! I think making them detachable is an excellent idea. You''ll get more
wear out of them but then you can still bling them out for those special occassions.

Michelle I absolutely adore opening posts with photos of your jewellery and this one certainly hasn't disappointed. In fact, none of yours has ever disappointed. The only things they ever do is give me a huge case of green eyed monster!

You have equisite jewellery and your earrings are adorable. I do agree that making them a bit less blingy for those less formal occasions will mean you'll get more use out of them but if they were mine I'd happy spend hours cooking wearing them!

Stunning.

Very many congratulations.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Catmom - Merry Christmas, indeed!!! Those are gorgeous earrings, and I''d love to see the whole suite on you!

Wear them in good health!!!!

OH. MY. GOD.

Umm...Liz Taylor called and she wants her earrings and matching pendant back.

I literally gasped when I saw the pics. Congrats on such amazing pieces!

What an awesome way to start the New Year!

 

[mochi]

WOW!!! Absolutely stunning. You lucky gal!!

 

[beaujolais]

Seriously ? ! ? OMG. Your beauties are saying they should be in a coffee table book to me.

Awesome. Happy Big Blue Holidays, Sonoma

(My biggest sapphire is probably about half the size of Catmom''s smallest.

)

 

[Arcadian]

They are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!

[Catmom]

Thanks tyty! I am definitely going to explore that idea. I think I''ll get much more use out of them.

LovingDiamonds, that was incredibly kind of you to say. I''d say you have some exquisite jewelry as well!

Thanks so much Lauren!!!

I had to laugh at what you said platinumrock. I wish I had Liz''s earrings!

Thanks Mochi and Arcadian!

LOL sonomacounty, they''re not that big at all. You want big, go talk to Sharon!

 

[icekid]

You''ve trained your hubby so well, Catmom!

They are really just lovely! ear shots? we need a little perspective

 

[chrono]

Nope, they don't match at all and they are just hideous. You should send them to me right away and I'll take good care of them.

Awesome blue and I'm blue with jealousy.

 

[MAC-W]

OMG - WOW!

That is amazing - just super stunning.



ETA: I think the ideal of making parts of the earring detechable is very practical. You would certainly be able to get a lot more use out of them, and even separated they would still be fabulous.

 

[DiaDiva]

Michelle, those earrings are stunning!!! Can''t wait to see your ear shots!

 

[Lovinggems]

Fabulous earrings! You should definitely try and make them detachable, so you can wear the top pears by themselves for non Oscar days.

 

[marcy]

Michelle, your earrings are gorgeous. Love the color of the sapphires. Yay for completing your suite.

Stay safe from the blizzard.

 

[Linda W]

Michelle, those are absolutely gorgeous

What a dear sweet hubby you have.

 

[miraclesrule]

Holy Moly Catmom, those are some fine Christmas blues.

I hope we get to see an ear shot!! They are lovely with your pendant. You have quite the collection.

 

[Kaleigh]

Michelle,
They are too die for. You have the best hubby everr!!!! Ear shots missy!! When you have time. Your collection is really amazing...
