WTB 4.5/5mm Gemstone Studs for my IDJ Jackets

[fioratura]

I was thinking of blue sapphires but I am open to any colored stones, faceted or cabochon. The jackets are for round studs and the studs I wear them with now are .8tcw diamond studs with each stone measuring at about 4.8mm.

I bought my cabs from stachura and had them set by IDJ.

The 5mm sapphires were the most expensive ones at $45 each. The other gems were really cheap.

WOW! This is a great idea! Do you have any photos of your finished studs?

Found them! WOW they are everything I imagined and more! The color of the sapphire is delicious! I think I'm going to take your wonderful advice! Now I feel like I might not be able to stop with just one pair!

Do you remember approximately how much it cost to have them set?

less than what they list for settings on their website. I feel like actual prices are usually less than the website. I don't remember the exact number anymore bc it's been a while...

Still looking?

Per PintoBean’s suggestion I just ordered some turquoise ball studs and am planning some custom projects with cabochons. However, if you have any 5mm studs to sell, I am definitely still on the lookout!

I just acquired some 5mm Sardinian coral studs...I love them and now I keep thinking of more combos I can make. Still in the market for 5mm studs!

My jackets can accommodate up to 6mm centres, and I have a few pairs, including pearls, CSs, a pair of plain WG studs,6mm and the diamonds.

I purchased the loose gemstone pairs and put them in the Sterling Silver basket snap tight fittings myself. Second pic shows one of the gemstone pairs and I have a few more, real as well as synthetic one.

I got all of my cabs on eBay. As PB said, they are really inexpensive. I wear mine all the time!
