These 1940's vintage aquamarine dangle earrings are re-vamped from a bracelet! I found them at Antique Haven, in Pawtuxet Village and they were simply calling my name!Built like Ft. Knox, the old jewelry is a challenge to separate. These were no different, however, the results are this classic pair of earrings. The stones are sky blue with amazing depth. The links are simple and elegant. They are custom made to face forward so that you can see them along with all of your admirers! They are 2 1/4" long, with the 14k gold filled hook. The width of the frame with the stone is 1/2' wide and high. You can find them in my Etsy shop, Lilleypad.

Wow...Amy these are stunning...love the detail and of course the color is beautiful...I do love any shade of blue!!!
Have you been keeping warm this winter??? It has been cold consistently here and I'm not liking it!!! :0) I find the older I get the more I dislike the cold...
Have a great week Amy...
Cheers
Heather, I would have to agree w/ you on this...on the 3rd link, a piece of the stone was missing, so I had these 2 to work w/...like I said in the post, the old jewelry, put together like Ft. Knox, very hard to take apart, and then put back together...I literally had to walk away from them out of frustration...but, persistence paid off, and I am happy w/ the end result!!
It has been freezing here as well...I bought a pair of boots, w/ the design from the Shirpas of the Himalayas...they are very toasty...I don't like the cold either, but, the house is cozy and warm and I am blessed to work from home...I do long for the warm weather, and rejoiced this AM when I turned the calendars to February...:))))))
Ooooo... like pristine pools of azure...!!!
Great eye...for the reuse of an item!!
Seriously, Ms. Muse, the bracelet as calling my name...I could instantly see the end result, but not the little journey getting there.....:)))
I love your beautiful blue vintage jewels. sounds like a tricky project but it came together very well!!
Thank you Karen...it was a challenge, but worth the effort...it reminded me of the great craftmanship of the vintage jewelry...a deeper appreciation of everyone's handmade work...:)))
