Hello all, please can I ask how you’d set this pair of mismatched monster studs?
Inspired by various mismatched pairs I’ve seen, I went shopping for separate single black and white pearls that could form a pair. I wanted 15mm+ and got 16.5mm![Evil or Devil :evil2: :evil2:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The details are:
I’d like to have them set as studs and have these questions if anyone has any experience/suggestions please!

Inspired by various mismatched pairs I’ve seen, I went shopping for separate single black and white pearls that could form a pair. I wanted 15mm+ and got 16.5mm
The details are:
- Pearls: peacock-ish Tahitian and WSS
- Size: 16.5-16.7mm
- Shape: the Tahitian is circle, the WSS is button but with a tail that needs to be ground down
- The Tahitian is pretty lustrous for its size, the WSS not so much but I was happy to compromise on lustre for a similar size and shape to the Tahitian (which I bought first). Both have some blemishes, with the T being more blemished than the WSS
- Weight: ~6g each
I’d like to have them set as studs and have these questions if anyone has any experience/suggestions please!
- How to make them as comfortable as possible?
- Do I need / should I have a large cup made to cover the “stub” of the Tahitian, especially as there’s a big blemish there? But would that mean the WSS needs a similar cup made so that they both have a large cup from a side profile perspective?
- Is it advisable to have the earring post slightly higher up rather than dead-centre?
