New Blue Moonstone Earrings

[decodelighted]

I keep coming back to oogieoogieoogle. It's so rare that I see something that I wouldn't want to tweak in SOME way -- that I would plunk down for AS IS EXACTLY and wear the hell out of it immediately.

THIS is THAT. You lucky, lucky (clever) duck!

Very beautiful. I've thought about getting blue moonstone earrings, but wondered if they might be too heavy. Yours look perfect.

 

[Pandora II]

Beautiful!

And you did very well on the price - the blues are expensive and getting more so.

 

[K9]

I absolutely love them FlyGirl! They have some excellent flash!

 

[beau-wy]

I really can't add anything - except I love them. Well done and congrats!

 

[Fly Girl]

Thank you for your comments, LD, decodelighted, kgizo, Pandora, and K9.

Kgizo, these are smallish moonstone cabs, and are not heavy. Most of the weight of the earrings is in the gold hoops.

Pandora, yes, I agree. When I saw the price on Barry's site, I didn't hesitate. The reason I picked up these moonstones for earrings is I am having a pearl pendant made by the same designer, and he is incorporating a round blue moonstone cab into the design. Knowing what I was paying for that smaller cab, I knew Barry had a good price.

I love the Etruscan feel to them, they're very pretty. I want a piece of moonstone jewelry one of these days!!

Thank you, TL. I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of piece you would put a moonstone into.

Thank you MZ, we also have some gorgeous Etruscan jewelry at the Field Museum in Chicago as well. I should have taken more photos of it when I was there last.

I love them! Very nice design, and moonstones, they are my favorite stones (I have many favorites!). But it's unusual and very nice to see moonstones, very gorgeous sheen on those babies!

 

[colorluvr]

Very unique looking. Congratulations on a stunning pair of earrings.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Those are really gorgeous!!! I love the red gold and the design of the earrings!

 

[Arkteia]

Flygirl, you always pick such nice stones and you find the nicest jewelers to work with. The earrings are stunning and the stones are very noticeable. I bet you receive a lot of compliments on them.

 

[Fly Girl]

Thank you, sapphirecats, colorluvr, diamondseeker2006, and Arkteia. Your kind words are appreciated.

I haven't worn these much yet. The matching pearl and moonstone pendant will be ready, soon, hopefully, and I am excited about wearing the set. I bought the moonstones from Barry after I approved the CAD for the pendant. Waiting impatiently.

I love them Fly Girl! I love the moonstones, the color of the gold and the fact that they dangle. That just shows off the blue shimmer even more.

I'm having the big graduated pearl in the middle mounted in red gold with a round moonstone on top. I picked it up from Sarah at Kojima Pearls when I was in the Bay area last November. Sarah had the pearl on her web site, but when I saw the rainbows flashing all over the surface of that pearl, I knew it was coming home with me.

Can't wait to see the earrings with the finished pendant!

Ooooooooh!!! That is going to be GORGEOUS! I can't wait to see it! How big is it? Looks like a wonderful size with lots of presence.

Thank you, K9.

The monster pearl is just a bit smaller than La Peregrina.

NOICE! Hubba hubba!

Gorgeous. I love moonstones and the choice of red gold really sets these off nicely.

 

[RedSpinel]

Thats really not a bad price for those stones + the gold earrings. I wouldnt be surprised to see someone trying to sell just the 2 stones for $180, never mind the gold!

I've been looking for a good blue moonstone for a little while now, cause I dont have one yet. Many of them have streaks and lines in them. Not to mention cracks....

I enjoy that section of the Legion as well.

Just to clarify, Red Spinel. The $180 was just for the two moonstones. The final price of the earrings was considerably higher.

Thank you, Hest88.
