So, I know blue sapphires are very popular (especially lately), and I've owned several commercial grade sapphires over the years, but honestly I've never really understood why everyone loved them SO much. I get it now though, lol.
I just got this pair from Yvonne Raley, and they are so beautiful. They're from the same batch/vendor that PSer "distracts" posted about recently (with her wedding jewelry), but mine are set in rose gold bezels with milgrain and French wire, rather than studs. I thought it was very cool to see hers, and now I'm posting mine just for fun (and bc I'm in LOVE with them!). I thought it was neat to see how different people enjoy basically the same gems, but set completely differently. I'm going to post a TON of pics, mainly bc I took a ton. They're just so pretty, and it's kind of frustrating bc I can't seem to get them to show in pics as well as they look IRL, they have this gorgeous glow.
Yvonne's pics first, followed by mine. (Note as far as size: she said that they're 4 mm each, tcw .8, but I think she may have meant to say 4.4 mm. I'm not sure of the exact mm, but I have several pairs of gems from Yvonne that I know are right at 3.5, 3.75 mm, and 4 mm, and 4.1 mm, and these are larger than all of them (though not quite at 5 mm). I know that she had some that are 4.4 mm in her batch, and I'm wondering if these are actually that size. I'm certain that they're larger than my 4.1 mm cc garnets, and those were measured with calipers for sure. I'm including one pic of the 4.1 mm garnet next to the earring just to show that, I think you can see what I mean. Which is why I'm thinking they are from the 4.4 mms out of the batch).

And thanks for giving out a link in case we also wanted a pair! You read my mind!
