A few years ago, there was a thread from someone seeking a pair of dormeuse earrings and needing an opinion about a couple of pairs she'd located on Etsy. What set these apart from many dormeuse earrings was a simple bezel surrounding the stones instead of a buttercup style, making them a really good earring for everyday wear. I was searching for diamond studs at the time, so I found it merely educational. Now, though, I'd like to find a similar pair for myself--and I've run into just the sort of issue she did: the pairs I like the best are on Etsy, and like the original poster (MDS81686), I'm leery of purchasing from there rather than a PS-approved vendor. (I've looked at the listings in the Antique & Vintage Vendor List, but didn't find anything that really grabbed me). There are two pairs from one Etsy vendor that I'm considering, but I need someone to back me up.
This first pair is gold with silver bezel, and I'm not sure how I feel about silver and its upkeep:

The second pair is linear, which is a good shape for my face, and features a pearl instead of a diamond (my hair is silver white; pearls are nice):
https://www.etsy.com/listing/160798...ck_sum=11ab464b&ref=shop_home_active_32&frs=1
(I don't know how to do more than insert links to those Etsy sites. I hope that's all right.) The seller has good reviews and a decent return policy. There is another pair with a simple bezel that I like a lot, but is also silver so I said no.
Any advice?
