Besides T's, who has preset small bezel studs?

[ame]

I did a rudementary search looking for a small set of bezel studs (mine would have to be platinum), and so far I am not finding much in a preset state. I figure WF is probably the only other option which for me is really not an ideal situation, as any long time PSer will know. I don't see them on BG, I don't see them on JA or GOG either. Or BN even. I was thinking maybe .15-.2s or so size wise at most.

I say this like Ill ever wear em. I never wear the studs I have either.

Um...are you sure you want to buy a pair if you might not wear them?

They aren't preset, but BG will make you a pair very close to what the Tiffany ones look like. They do a nice job with bezels. Either that or real Tiffany ones would be my choice for bezels.

You'd just have to get a quote for diamonds the size you want.

Oh definitely not sure and may not actually do it. I have no idea why I have been lusting for them for a while. I have wanted a necklace like this for a while too and yet I know Ill never wear that either. I never even wear my rings, despite loving them dearly.

Yea thats the setting I was looking at, I just wish they had smaller than .25s on the site to search for. But I'd go with probably 15s if I had my choice. My current studs are about the same size pointers and I think those are about perfect, in a bezel I don't want any bigger I don't think. I have debated trading my current studs back through the Kwiat upgrade thing for the .50ctw next year so theyre a little bigger than the bezels. Then again, why have two pair I don't wear.

Ame, why do you think you don't wear your rings or studs?

Half the time with the rings I don't get around to it bec I get engrossed at work and just don't do it, and by the time I slow down enough to do it its like 2pm and Im gonna be leaving in two more hours and then Ill be home and taking them back off anyway. Ill get here, dump my crap down, put the ring boxes and my phone on my desk, get my breakfast ready, come back to my desk and start someting, an hour goes by, I remmeber my breakfast is sitting in the kitchen, I go retrieve it, eat it, clean up, get back at the task, and they're still sitting there. So when I really realize that Ill be wearing them for only 2 hours, usually I say forget it. But it's also winter, so I don't do rings with gloves bec it's uncomfortable. Even just the plain one bugs me when the ring is between my finger and the fabric/fuzz. I can't usually get them on in the morning before I leave bec I still have sausage hands, so I have to wait til I get to work. Today is like the first day in a LONG time I actually put them on when I got in! Ill put them on most Friday nights and or weekends if I know Ill be out and about usually. Prior to getting the ering checked out again to confirm it's safety, that stayed in the safe bec it was deemed unsafe to wear at all. Now that's been cleared.

The studs I thought I'd actually leave in, but they 1) stab me when I lay down and 2) I use a lot of color conditioner,etc., in my hair to keep it bright and ridiculous, and they get crudded up, so I don't deal with them much. I don't want to be cleaning that stuff out, I wore my little promise band one night in the shower when I used it and wasn't smart enough to take it off first and it took like an HOUR of scrubbing to get that out of the nooks. Besides that, insanity over whacking if I bring my hand near my head.

Correct, but I do not patronize that vendor. I am already pushing my personal ethics by considering BGD.

idjewelry has them too

Ohh thanks!

I might have to contact Daniel M...those look NICE. I wonder though if he works in Plat. That's the big stickey for me, I cannot have gold, at all, touching my skin. I would probably buy the melee/diamonds and supply them if it helped the process though. I do kinda want to see if there was any progress in the Star129 melee...a bezel set pair of those? Yes plz.

I will also check with ID. I have not bought from them either. The pricing isn't too bad.

I have been wanting a 2mm Lucida Plat Band for a while too, bec the curve of it works better with my set than the Stuller does, so Im waffling between the two.

Ame, you and IDJ will not be a good match. Trust me.

I understand what you are saying about not wearing your things. I also would never sleep in studs and don't wear mine everyday, either. But I can see how hard it would be to wear your rings if you have swelling in the morning when most people put them on for the day.

 

[Niel]

im not sure what your concern is regarding the vendors, but brilliant earth sells baby bezels too. dont know if thats the kind of vendor you would want to use

Yea that's probably unfortunately always going to be an issue too, and my knuckles getting bigger as I age is another drama for another day. But I was good for a while, and I think in spring/fall I am best about it, sometimes summer as well, though that requires serious lubrication some days The issues with the setting really sidelined that for a while. If I wear the plain one that just stays on unless it's glove weather, bec even that is irritating with a glove on.

I think if I didn't use so much gunk I might leave studs in, the gunk is the killer. Some of this stuff is HELL to get out of settings, so it's a big process to be sure Im not wearing rings, even with gloves on. I did used to leave my CBRs (big piercing parlor hoops) in all the time, bec gunk couldnt get on that. I have debated going and getting a tiny set of those. But those are a pain to get out if I do want to wear studs.

The bolded part...Anal retentiveness and all. Good point.

The concerns are just past bad experiences I wish to not repeat. I may try to work through the B&L part in the future and try again, but the WF, not a snowballs chance in hell.
