Show Me Your Diamond Studs!

[rockhoundofficiando]

I originally bought Gia G vs2 earrings from Blue Nile. The had a great hca score and were very sparkly but yellow, one slightly more than the other. I wish I had a picture to show that. Granted I am color sensitive but even another person pointed it out. Fortunately Blue Nile has a nice return policy and I returned them with no issue.
I purchased these Tiffany & co I, vs2 and they are much whiter! As was my Tiffany & co G solitaire ring in comparison to the gia graded g's. I am now convinced that Tiffany grades more stringently than the Gia. (Unless I just got duds)
My Tiffany studs:

Zizzy, I think your earrings are the perfect size. Thanks for sharing! They look beautiful on you. Enjoy!

Finally posting my GOG platinum select 2tcw, H, absolutely eye clean SI2 studs in custom platinum 4 prong martini setting. GOG were so fantastic to deal with, even went so far as to have the settings remade because they weren't happy with them - talk about customer service. Sorry for awful pics DSS has definitely hit though

They look fabulous! Honestly, I'm not minimizing your feelings but they look really big and perfect on your tiny earlobes! Congratulations, I love them!

Fige, they look really nice on your ear. I think you have really good coverage but I can understand wanting something bigger. I'm not necessarily a diamond girl except for studs (just got a new pair for my b-day!) but maybe you can give them a bigger feel with a jacket? That could help with the DSS you feel right now.

This thread has been so fun to go through! I have drooled over many of your pairs! I also took the time to take a not so great shot of my studs - I have a pair of french cuts, a pair of oec's, a tiny pair of rounds and some carre cuts - my favorite surprisingly are the oec's with the carre and french tied for second place
The way I tucked my hair makes me look like I have elf ears (not that there's anything wrong with that - but I don't)

I love checking in here! The GOG 1 ct each studs are fabulous as well as the .25 each Tiffany studs! Love the little french cuts, too!

I upgraded earlier this year to 1.15 cts each and almost immediately had DSS. But I am glad I didn't change them because these are plenty big for my world. I appreciate larger diamonds, but sometimes the delicate smaller ones are just gorgeous and preferable to me. I have the same problem with rings...I love larger diamonds but always feel I went too big!

Diamond seeker .I love checking in her also. I also had DSS right after I got my 1.20 each but I am now settled in and know they are the perfect size for me. But now I am researching dangling studs for my daughter who is turning 25 in February . I am thking JA dangle setting with .75-.80 tcw studs But I am going to get them at IDJ I have already let them know I'm looking. This way I can go to New York and see them before I buy them and maybe take my daughter with me for the adventure

I hear ya. I love large diamonds.

I am an earring gal: I love large earrings but wear very few studs. So smallish diamond studs makes sense for me. But I adore studs of all sizes on everyone else!!

PS--here is a new ring I found for you DS! heheheee

I was completely surprised this Christmas with my first pair of diamond studs. I've always loved emerald cuts but they are uncommon for studs. I'm thrilled with these!
1 ctw -perfect for my tiny lobes. Any larger and they would hang off the edge.
E color, VVS2
4 prong platinum setting

I'm terrible at photographing them but here they are...

heididdl--I would love to see what you decide on for DD! When I got my stud (earring not husband ) upgrade last year, it put my prior studs into semi-retirement. I need to re-set those puppies, & have been thinking along the same track as you with those dangles for your DD. I hope you will come back with a SMTB thread when you finish the project!!

That's awesome ..I'm glad you saw them first I would have loved ACA for Dana but I am so happy ..The only thing is the are bothering her ears as she hasn't used those second holes in a long time.

Here are my .90 E SI H&A studs from IDJ!! I love them so much! I think they're a HUGE difference from what I was wearing before, are a great size for right now and I love IDJ's trade up policy!!

are they .90 each or .90 total cw? Just curious. IDJ is currently making a pair of studs for me. one stone is a .91 and .93 for 1.84 total carat weight.

Beautiful earrings and they look great on your ears.

 

[heididdl]

so awesome isnt IDJ so terrific

This is my new favorite also. A few years ago it would have been unthinkable that someone would have DSS at over 1 carat each, but now I get it. I will hopefully have my 1.2 ctw soon and I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that DSS won't hit too soon or my hubby will really lose patience with me
