Sorry for the hassle!...

This is one of my favorite pairs of earrings! I've been listing a lot of things lately though, due to financial issues.

These were made by Yvonne Raley. The sapphires are Ceylon blues, mild heat ONLY, step cut, approx 4.25 mm round (perhaps a bit larger). They are set in solid 14k rose gold bezels, with the finished size being slightly under 5 mm. The bezels have tiny milgrain detail and are attached to French hooks. The bezels are made so that they hang just below the ear. It is a minimal but very nice look, something just slightly more showy than studs but still classic and great for everyday wear.

These are in very good condition, maybe showing tiny signs of normal wear, but nothing to really note that I can see. The sapphires are very lovely in color with a beautiful glow to them particularly in sunlight. The cutting on the gems is step cut, which can sometimes show a little windowing (at least in my experience, I've seen a few similar pairs of sapphires). These do have a bit of that, but it's not that noticeable and has never bothered me; the overall look is very nice. The only other thing I would note is that one of the French hook wires has a very tiny little imperfect spot on the wire, almost a tiny kink in the metal - it's kind of hard to describe, but it doesn't affect how the earrings wear and isn't noticeable when wearing them - it's not even easy to spot. It is exactly how the earrings arrived to me, not any "damage", but I am very picky about describing things so I note any teeny little thing I see!

The pics are a mix of mine and Yvonne's - I think hers show the milgrain detail better than mine could. I included an ear shot to give a slightly better perspective.

I always consider reasonable offers. Hate to sell, but finances demand I let some things go...
