Amazing! We have had 10 over the years. Best small pocket pet hands down. We had sugar gliders too!
Sorry for the tangent!
ETA Amazing video Chappy!

So, I forgot about the rubies.
Still in denial obviously.
So I really really like this idea. Please excuse the Swarovski crystals - they are supposed to represent the diamonds (much too big, I’m thinking .05 melee)
But how much would having these made cost do you think?
Probably more than $5,000 (which I can’t really justify-afford).
It’s a bit crazy I know, here I am with over 4 carats of rubies and 6 carats of nice sapphires quibbling about spending $5,000......
The other issue is, where on earth would I wear such amazing earrings?
I’m retired now and my lifestyle is more walking dogs, doing various charity based activities and dinner at the local restaurants. When I was younger I went to more formal events, ballet, opera, weddings, balls, the races, fancy restaurants etc - these days not so much interest, I’m happier being in bed by 11!
But wouldn’t they just be divine.

I would make occasions for such lovely gems. It is TDF Perhaps just the cluster/halo for the bottom dangle and keep the top just the ruby, or switch halo on ruby as dangle part and sapphire on top.

“I forgot about the rubies”....LOL.
You win the Internet today!!

But wow, would those be lovely! You could wear them to walk your dog, right??

I think the diamonds should highlight your beautiful stones, but not take the attention away from them. I'm thinking .02 or .03 pointers would be perfect for the halos, maybe slightly larger for the connectors.

Why not ask David Klass for a quote? I bet it'll be a less than $5,000.

Bron, dangles all the way! I actually love your own idea but perhaps if you make something a little simpler, you could wear them more often? Your choice.

Actually, here that large ruby has A-amazing color, not dark and leaning towards garnet like on your other thread.

My lot of old rubies also includes stones with nasty chips but on the pavilion, probably inclusions kept to retain weight. This looks different unless it is on the pavilion that you can see from the top. On your magnified pic it looks like a chip extending from the girdle that definitely warrants a recut.

But if this stone is untreated and Burmese, oh well, it will be well worth it. Get the stone looked at, recut, certed and auction it if you cannot sell it privately. Really curious about your findings.

Thank you.
Get ready for another laugh.
After I bought my pile of “crystal treasures” I unceremoniously “dumped” them all into my Lalique Fish display box. I’ve made the bottom of it all sparkly over the years - really pretty. Yes, there are some real gems (citrine, amythest, garnet - nothing fancy) in there but mostly CZ and glass crystals.
When I checked the one yellow stone I thought might be citrine, I quickly realized it was sapphire. What the !!!!!!!
Then I had the “fun” job of going through the whole lot (hundreds) to pull out what might be “real”. And one by one I realized that I had lots of sapphires and those “red stones” were not garnet.

Swoon!!!! What pretty colors and omg I so love your Lalique fish display! Fishilicious! I love Lalique but don't have any fish. Just a few pieces including their swans.
Gorgeous crystal treasures and wow to finding so many of them to be sapphires woohoo!
