Would it be really bad of me...

Outdoors in the shade. They make my poor Yogos look really pale.

And another hand picture.

They probably will be too dark to bezel and even when worn on the ears (away from the finger) may not be recognized as a set with the ring due to the strong difference in tone and saturation.

Why not get more yugos for your earring project? Here''s a site.

I must agree - they are too dark.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Honestly, I think they are too dark to

But I still love your idea and think you should make it happen with the right stones

 

[Bliss]

Holy moly, do those sapphires come with internal batteries? They are amazing!

I love love love your diamond hoops with charms! What a terrific idea! Gorgeous.

 

[Kismet]

Yeah, too dark was pretty much my consensus too. Ah well, I''m sure I''ll be able to find something that suits.

Fly Girl: I looked at that site but none of the stones were really wowing me.

I noticed that Gary at www.diamondexpert.com has some blue sapphire melees posted. Perhaps you can email him or give him a call?

 

[Kismet]

Take 2 on the sapphires for earring charms. This 4mm pair is from Michael E. Hopefully they''ll be showing up this week. These are the vendor pics; this one was taken outside.

 

[chrono]

I hope these will work better than the first from SS.

 

[Kismet]

Another outside view.

 

[Kismet]

And an indoor view.

Nice soft blue in the second picture; it looks like it might be a good match for your Yogos.

That''s what I thought! I know you think they are too dark, but I had to chime in and say that I love them! I''ve been thinking of side-stones for a 3 stone ring for my mom, and I think those sapphires would be gorgeous in a ring. Must do a little research...

As you know I just LOVE the whole earring charm thing you have going. I''ve even started looking at earrings and wondering if they will work with charms.

I think the second set of sapphires you posted will work! My fingers are crossed for you.

Ditto!!!! I think earring charms will definitely start to be the next trend to go around CS! I just love them!

Here are my pictures of the Michael E sapphires. These all were taken outdoors while mostly overcast.

 

[Kismet]

Another outdoor shot.

 

[Kismet]

This one was taken outdoors but with the flash.

 

[Kismet]

Last one of the sapphires by themselves (outdoors, no flash). These really are amazingly blue sapphires.

 

[Fly Girl]

What a pretty blue!! Liking that pair much better than your first pair. I like a definite blue color, and sparkle, and these fit the bill.

(BTW, thanks for your earring charms pictures. I''m having my RH brioletts set into charms to wear on gold huggies, and I think you have to bear some of the responsibility for enabling me.

)

 

[MakingTheGrade]

those are just gorgeous! Love the color!!

kismet- They are just stunning. The color is just rich and amazing! did you find them on his site? I can never find gems on his site thought I''m really interested in looking for smaller sapphires too.

 

[packrat]

Kismet, those match very well to your ring!

 

[Upgradable]

Love the color of those stones!! And LOVE the band!!!

No I didn''t see them on his site. I just emailed him what I wanted and attached pictures of my ring and of my ring with the sapphires that were too dark.

When I first saw these sapphires by themselves I thought they might be too dark too but when I put them next to my ring I saw that they were really pretty close in color.

 

[chrono]

Very nice blue sapphires - are you keeping them? Not quite a match for your Yogos but it''s sure tempting to keep them, no?

 

[Kismet]

I''ve been looking at them for a few days now and I think I will be keeping them.

 

[Catmom]

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love the color of those sapphires!!!!!
