Listing a wonderful pair of color change garnet earrings...these make for a really great second pair as they are tiny studs, about 3.5 mm. They aren't flimsy though, they are bezel set (in solid 14k green gold) and the bezels are sturdy little things! They are called "button" style bezel settings, the backs are open allowing light in from the back (just realized you may not be able to tell that from my pics.)
The gems are only about 2 mm round,(in the settings about 3.5 mm fnished size) but they look great nonetheless...this is actually one of my favorite pairs of earrings that I've ever owned. I'm only selling bc I'm about to have a couple of new pairs made, and I could use the funds to help finance those settings.
These were made for me by Yvonne Raley - she sources some of the best cc garnets I come across. I was able to choose these from a parcel and I will include one pic of the parcel so you can see them loose. These gems are of course untreated (typical of garnets).
This is important to note: my pics show the gems as purple to dark purple, but in person these gems are a blue to blue green color in daylight. They only show the purplish color in incandescent lighting. For some reason though, my camera refuses to pick up the blue daylight color - I have no idea why, but this always happens to me when I try to photograph cc garnets. The parcel pic of the loose gems is more accurate for the daytime color, but they can also look more of a blue green, it just depends on the amount of daylight.
I think as long as the buyer keeps this in mind they will be happy - you won't see this purple color unless you're in incandescent lighting, please remember that :) If you look at the loose garnet parcel pic, the ones I chose are towards the middle, a pair of lighter blue ones, among the smallest sized gems. I can try to be more specific if asked, sorry - but this gives you an idea at least! It's the small pair that is more blue and less green - these look WAY prettier than my pics show, apologies that I couldn't get the nice blue color to show, just that odd dark purple. (The first pic is in incandescent light and pretty accurate as to how they look in that condition; the second darker purple pic is the one that's not accurate IRL).
Please ask all questions before deciding to buy; I am selling from my collection and strongly prefer not to deal with returns. I answer questions quickly, and will do my best to make sure you have all info before buying.
