Pink sapphire earrings

I'm not a pink kind of girl but I do have a soft spot for these earrings...  They appeal to the gem geek in me as the matt silver settings contain polished slices cut through a pink sapphire crystal, showing the growth structure.  I loved making these settings and the fact that the stones are something special - very different to a faceted pink sapphire.  They could be the stone that tempts me over to the pink side...

This pair of silver studs is set with sapphire slices which have a combined weight of 10.05ct and each one measures approx. 12x10mm.

Sapphire is a variety of corundum which grows as six-sided crystals – evidence of which may be seen by the dark growth marks within the stones.  Found in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzania, Thailand and Montana, USA amongst other places. 

These pieces of jewellery are hallmarked for your assurance and come with a gift box and a gift card detailing the weight of the gemstones and a little information about them as shown in the example photograph.   As each stone is unique and each piece of jewellery handmade, every piece of jewellery is individual and you will receive the pieces of jewellery shown in these photographs.
