Vintage clear Crystal and Vitrail Dark. Technically the crystals are 41ss (9mm) but they fit really well in a 39ss (8mm) setting, with just a very, very slight overhang.
These crystals are just too much fun :) They are a vintage (West German) Clear crystal with a scalloped center recess. The clear crystal is stunning on it's own with faceting similar to Dentelles, and pointed gold foil backs. I decided that recess was 'screaming' for a crystal to be added - so I did. The center crystal is a fabulous 4mm vintage Swarovski in Vitrail Dark that I set myself with jewelers glue (the same glue used by professionals that repair vintage rhinestone jewelry).
I made one into a ring for myself to see just how much punishment the center crystal could take, and it turns out it can take quite a bit! Unless you take a pick, and deliberately try to gouge the center crystal out, it won't come out on it's own.
These are truly unique sew ons you won't find anywhere else!! You can purchase these with or without the vitrail dark inset, and in 1 piece, 2 pieces (5% discount) or 4 piece (10% discount) lots.

A small note about foil-backed stones: Swarovski’s sew-ons are excellent quality; I have at least 3 I rarely take off. However, there are chemicals and some oils and lotions that can eat at the foil on the back of the crystal. If in doubt, whether something will hurt the foil, take the ring (or other piece of jewelry off).
thanks for stopping by - hope to see ya again soon.....

❤️ "I am simply enchanted with this gorgeous, wondrous, beautiful ring! Of all my Padparadscha‘s, this is the clearest. It also has a unique band. You can tell Bobbi loves her craft and takes great pride in it, as she should. Additionally, she was as concerned as I, about it being lost in the Mexican postal system, but it arrived and I couldn’t be happier.
I already have my eye on another ring of hers that I “simply must have”....
Do not hesitate to order from this great shop and seller! You won’t be disappointed."
