These 60 - 70 year old saphiret stones have been in my collection for 15+ years, it's taken me a couple of years to figure how to create these and another 8+ hours (were I still working as as RN, that would be $400+ for my time) to hand fabricate every mm of metal, making this a very collectable, more primitive, less commercial looking, signed studio pair. Should you like these in 14K gold, I could create them for $900 based on current gold prices and will arrive in a hand painted signed presentation jewelry box, for even more collectable value.
