Hi everyone

Longtime lurker, first-time poster!

I would really appreciate your collective wisdome on a purchase I am contemplating. I am not super experienced with settings as you are, and as I am in Australia I can't visit IDJ in person.

I have 4.6mm basket set studs, and would like to add some jackets. I love the look of these ones: https://idjewelry.com/0-66-ct-f-gsi2-diamond-earring-jackets-set-in-14k-white-gold-e4490-5mm.html . This is exactly the style I am drooling over! And of course I know IDJ are highly regarded on PS and do incredible work, so I'm very keen on them.

Yael very kindly sent me a video of how 4.6mm studs would look in these jackets (5mmm internal diameter) and thought they were a perfect fit, but I am not sure if it's just the angle of the video or if I am not experienced at seeing how studs and jackets look together, but I think I can see quite a lot of the stud setting. I don't mind a bit of airline but am concerned this is too much!

I would appreciate your views on whether this is a good fit or whether I should ask if they can make a smaller pair (these are already pushing the budget esp with shipping). I attach some screenshots from the video below.

Thanks so much for your thoughts and experience!

Rachel

I agree with you. They are too big for 4.6mm stones. There is too much "airline" showing around the stud.
 
I believe these are stock settings so you'd have to ask if they have a 4.5mm pair. 4 mm would be too small I think.
 
Thank you for your responses tyty333 and distracts! I’ll reach out again about a 4.5mm pair - I appreciate the guidance :)
