I do have something a little different to offer this time around. I have recently picked up several pairs of squared gems. The ones I have in stock are a 12 x 12 mm size. I can get smaller sizes as well as different types of stone and different colors. What I have made for myself was a set with some deep blue lab sapphires. The timing was impeccable. I received these 2 days before my brothers wedding, and decided that they must be in my ears for the occasion. Needless to say, I was wearing them that night. Here is a few shots from different angles. I set them with gold (filled) prongs in ebony with no adhesives.
Ebony gold and sapphire
So what I have available currently is: Champagne colored CZ's, Peridot colored CZ's, and synthetic rubys. All in the 12 x 12 square size. Any of these will look great in 7/8 to 1-1/8 in plugs. I am wearing the 1 inch, in which there is just the right amount of wood, prongs, and stone to make for the total package. I will be looking out for larger ones for anyone that's interested. I can provide pictures or ideas to anyone that is interested in something similar. I don't have more of the sapphires, but they can be easily obtained. For any quotes, send me a message. I will be more than happy to work out a project with anyone that enjoys this style.
