A sapphire earring?

Did I hear that correctly? Surely it's a stud and not an earring? A jeweller in Launceston is interested in the sapphires, except that they would like three of the same size and colour, to be used to make a sapphire and diamond ring. How hard is it to find three similar sapphires? We'll have to find out. The stone cut in Hobart has been used to make either an earring or, hopefully, a stud, now worn by its finder. Thus far, outlays on fossicking exceed returns but the possibilities remain.

And yes, the weather has been freezing.
