Can''t take my eyes off the good looking studs!! Thanks to BGD!!

From the recent threads, it is apparent that Brian and Lesley are awesome when it comes to their customer service and of course they dish out quality pieces.

Lesley really doesn't sleep and is SUPER responsive and thoughtful. Brian has very high standard on his work. He wasn't happy with the setting and had the jeweler redo the whole setting again and hence the delay. As a customer, I am ok with the delay as it just means that they have some great QC over there and I am assured that the end result is phenomenon!

Without further delay, here are some pictures from Lesley:

I forgot to provide the stats. They are I color, SI1 clarity and Total Carat weight of 0.935 (0.465 and 0.47). 18K Martini setting.

I had such a hard time deciding between bezel and martini setting. Lesley and Brian are both very patient with me. Brian advised me that bezel would definitely make it look like 0.6 ct size which I chuckled as he probably understands how fast PSers'' DSS kicks in.

I find this picture cute as they are not going to face each other in this way much in their lifetime!

 

[tigian]

How exciting!

Can''t wait to see ear shots.

 

[btrflygrl23]

SO pretty! They are going to look amazing on.
When do you get them in your hot little hands????

 

[D&T]

Oh, it looks fabulous, can''t wait for the ear shots!

 

[GoodSoul]

Thanks tigian! I hope to take some ear shots tonight if I can get back home early enough. I am still having a rash and probably black and white ear shots for now.

I picked it up this morning and tried to take pictures in the office... but it''s kind of blurry. Thanks!

 

[GoodSoul]

D&T , Thanks! Your beautiful bezel pair reignited my desire for bezel and I told Lesley so. She offered to give some credits should I decide to switch to bezel setting after I received mine.

 

[brightlight]

Oooooooooooooooooooh, I have diamond envy. Those are exactly what I want - even the size. Ear shots please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snlee]

They are beautiful and a great size! Can''t wait to see ear shots!

 

[Ellen]

They are boooootiful!!

 

[Gypsy]

The heads are immaculate. Well worth the wait, I''m sure. Can''t wait for earshots!

 

[GoodSoul]

Thanks SDL ! In person, I can definitely see the warmth esp when it''s next to my ER. Once on my ears, I am not conscious of the warmth anymore and it''s very sparkly!

 

[GoodSoul]

Thanks brightlight, Ellen & Gypsy !

Here are some ear shots for now!

First pix - It''s next to my my teeny 3-prong basket studs that I''ve been wearing for years. It''s about 3mm size.. so about 0.10-0.11 ct? Good color but badly cut.

hi goodsoul

these are exactly the same size as the side stones in my e-ring, so i know exactly how substantial they are. these are going to make GORGEOUS studs! and the cut looks fabulous. wonderful setting, also.

what a great acquisition!

 

[whitby_2773]

WOW! (just saw the photo)

look at the sparkle on those...!!

 

[GoodSoul]

Hi whitby_2773!

Thanks! I have two sisters and I've given them diamond studs as graduation gift and wedding gift and they are all bigger than my tiny studs. I'm glad that after all these years and under the influence of PS, I have finally upgraded.

They really do sparkle alot!

ETA : I forgot to mention that I thought your side stones are bigger! I really adore your 3 stone with JM's band!

Here is another clearer shot.

thank you - very kind of you to comment.

and these look beautifully substantial on your ears and i''m guessing it wont be long till you want to replace your smaller studs with brian gavin''s as well; after one has his stones, how do you make yourself settle for anything else?!

the problem of high quality pieces! (laughing)

you go, girl!

 

[tyty333]

Love those arrows and they are so white looking! Just beautiful!

 

[coatimundi_org]

They are beautiful!

 

[GoodSoul]

whitby_2773 Don''t tempt me! Especially when I still desire the bezel setting!

tyty333 & Coati Thanks!! I love my studs too!

 

[Bliss]

HOLY MOLY! Those are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

They look HUGE! OMG, I am resetting my studs and now you're making me rethink my decision!

I love this classic look! You have the tiniest earlobes ever! So pretty.

 

[D&T]

Just saw the earshots, They look absolutely gorgeous on your lobes, they look to be the perfect size, if mine were bigger, I might have opted for the martini style as well, and those Is are white ice...

 

[Skippy123]

Fabulous studs!!!

 

[mrssalvo]

gorgeous!!

 

[DKinLA]

Those are amazing studs. Congratulations. I think the size is perfect.

 

[kama_s]

Ohhh....pretty! I can''t wait to have BGD make something for me, their work is outstanding! What a perfect size too!

 

[btrflygrl23]

They look great on you! I actually think they look cute with the 2nd pair in too! Really great size and you totally deserve them after getting earrings for so many other loved ones now you have this wonderful pair all to yourself!

 

[GoodSoul]

Bliss Thanks for your kind words. How are you resetting your earrings? Love to see your reset soon! I thought I had an average lobes but after seeing my own pictures... I HAVE BIG EARS & lobes!!!! I am not sure if it''s because the new bling made me more conscious of my ears as I never paid attention to them (other than cleaning them of course

).

D&T Thanks! I think they are the perfect size too (for now

).

Skippy123,mrssalvo & DKinLA Thanks! I am loving it more and more
