Where did you get them from? I've been thinking about getting a small set like that, and really like that 6 prong setting.purplesilk|1287321771|2739535 said:Very kind of you Yssie! I agree with with you, but I must admit I did it for fun : btiger is the queen of studs ' bling.

I chose the loose stones and I asked the jeweler to put them in a 18 ct white gold setting; I chose the 6 prong setting because of its roundness (in my opinion, 4 prong settings give a more squarish look).
They are small ,light and very comfortable,I wear them 24/7 and I think they provide a good sparkle.

Diamond studs and bezel pendant
Some info first, then the pics.
Pendant: .80ct I SI1, 6.06 x 6.09 x 3.60 mm, GIA
This was originally set in a bezel slider, but the darn thing kept flipping down, so I had a local jeweler set it into a Stuller bezel with a small bail.
Studs: 1.0 ctw I SI1, H&A, 4-prong basket push-backs
Diamond 1 — .50 ct, 5.13 x 5.14 x 3.16mm, AGS
Diamond 2 — .50 ct, 5.10 x 5.11 x 3.16mm, GIA

tigian said:D & T-why did you decide to buy loose stones with eternity diamonds versus going with another PS vendor? It seems their prices for loose stones are pretty reasonable, but how was their customer service? Did you pick your stones yourself or did you have them match up a pair for you? Your earrings are gorgeous!!!!
I went to two other PS vendors but their prices were $500 more! and another one said I couldn't get nice studs for my budget and I wanted at least a .60ctw or bigger lets just say I wasnt' going to budge over $750 (I came under when all said and done) But then I thought Michael could source me some, however, he is unable to get premiums diamonds including certified ones at the price I got from Eternity diamonds, however, MIchael's pricing was always great when I need to get premade cast in, so I went with him on the setting (less $ total even with shipping) plus I didn't want to spend more $ on 18k when its' just earrings for me and I've been fine wearing 14k. Other factors included that other PS vendors also had the same diamonds advertised for more $$ since these were virtual stones. I really did all the legwork myself, then called Yoni and asked if he had them available, sure enough we went through a few others that were not. He got them for the price that was advertised here and willing to ship pay/when I needed them just soooo easy to work with!... If you do want more of a catered hand holding diamond selection you might need to go with other vendors, but I really enjoyed my process because I like to be the one that's in control of what I wanted and at a price I'm willing to pay. I hope that kind of helps, its a little daunting to pick diamonds site unseen base off of numbers, and sending them off to another jeweler for setting but because of PS, i'm now more confident and I have lots of fun that I hand picked these and had them set especially for me, instead of premade ones sometimes.

Thank you! I had them reset into the halo setting and haven't regretted it since.diamondseeker2006|1290983751|2781170 said:Those are very beautiful, janice! They remind me a lot of some posted before that Leon Mege did.
sooo jealous! I absolutely love the micropave around the stones.janiced163|1290737695|2779444 said:Here are my studs... 2.25 tcw (1 ct each stud with .25 in micro pave mounting)
