    I've been asked to make a pair of Sterling Silver Earrings with 8mm 
    Moonstones.  The client has a beautiful pair of Moonstones that are
    clear in color--she would like them to have a bluish cast to match
    some other jewelry. She is perfectly happy to have them backed with
    something that will give the stones the right look.  I'm not sure if
    there is an ethical question, but I think that as long as she has
    requested this and is fully aware of what is being done, it's OK. 
    My real question now--is what kind of material would work, and be
    long lasting?  I thought of painting a piece of silver to put under
    the stones (what kind of paint)? Blue foil paper, or some kind of
    stiff, thin plastic (but I don't have any old credit cards that are
    light blue).  I would really appreciate any suggestions.  Many Thanks  
Sandra
