<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 2250953, member: 51&quot;]First off, great brooch!</p><p><br /></p><p>From the photo, I think the larger one is a saphiret and the smaller one not.&nbsp; Plenty of examples of brooches where they used just one saphiret, so not impossible two different stones here.&nbsp; That would be my thought on this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saphiret cabochons have a bit of a different reaction to light than the faceted saphirets which really switch from the blue to brown color strongly.&nbsp; With a faceted one you could get a photo of it being completely brown, and a photo of it being completely blue in different angle.&nbsp; The saphiret cabochons sort of hold a brown look with a blue essence and don&#039;t totally switch back and forth strongly in color.&nbsp; But that large one looks right to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The smaller one seems to have more of a pink/purple look which I think is something else.&nbsp; Maybe dragon&#039;s breath or some kind of art glass.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t seen any pink as part of the reflection of a saphiret.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting the smaller one has little set points and sits higher than the larger one.&nbsp; Maybe they were trying to play up different colors like that.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is a drop dead gorgeous piece in a stunning design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
