Show Me Your Diamond Studs!

[secretagentdee]

Nice proportions for those stones. I can only imagine how much fire they emit!

Thank you. Yes they are nice and sparkly. I put it next to my Brian Gavin signature and I can’t tell the difference.

 

[secretagentdee]

They are so pretty

Thank you.

Here are my studs from WF! 1.2ct each, D, VVS1 & VVS2 in low profile 4 prong basket setting.
I love them but look too huge to me (as it is my first time to wear studs in this size!) Shall I get another pair of smaller stones? 0.8ct each?

@lihoo
i think they look fabulous on you!! nope, not "too huge", at all. well done in selecting top of colorless, d color and vvs clarity!! solid choice of 4 prong classic basket settings, as well. a round of applause for you

 

[lucida818]

@lihoo, look at my 2.01tcw G/VVS on my thin lobe, don’t u find the proportion to be similar as yours? Alternatively we can exchange I don’t mind at all

Joke aside, they are very pretty, cheers!

Is that a trick question?

Have no fear, they look absolutely perfect on you! DSS will set in in no time, and they look perfect for daily wear for you.

I started with about .80 each, then 1.15 each, now 1.28 each...and I could go one step bigger! Trust me, that is a nice size and absolutely not too big. We have members here with 2-3 cts per ear! Yours are gorgeous!!!

 

[lucida818]

Despite my small lobes, I wanna admit shamelessly that my dream pair is 4tcw

Diamondseeker2006 me to I want 3.26 total but have budget or 3.00 selling the 2.40 is impossible

I’m going to get a hot cup of coffee and sit down to look through all 63 pages of this thread!

Want to reset some studs my MIL gave me and I’m looking for inspiration. No papers, I’m estimating .6-75
ctw? All I know is I want rose gold, not bezel set, something more interesting that 4 or 6 prongs.

Please send me inspiration, pricescopers!! I’m in no rush. Want to find the perfect setting to make these my everyday earrings.

 

[Wrkbrk]

The rest of my everyday set for background info

 

[Wrkbrk]

Sorry I don’t mean to be annoying! But I got a better shot. Any guess as to size of the studs? My ring is a 1.51 antique cushion so probably faces up closer to a 1.25 round brilliant?

 

[Wrkbrk]

Here are my 1ct round studs and .30ct heart and .30ct emerald cut

this is so cool! Love the mismatched shapes

These are beautiful and great size. You definitely don’t want to go smaller. DDS will set in and you will want to go bigger

 

[AntiqueMovalGal]

My new lightbox 2ctw studs.


i also tried on the cushion 1.5ctw studs.

I was worried the cushions wouldn’t be sparkly enough, but they both were very sparkly and well cut!

I just love your everyday set. So classic

You guys are right, I am already suffering from DSS! Now I am thinking 'hmm...a bit larger stones would be nicer, like 1.5-1.6ct each!' If I were living in US I would have seriously considered an upgrade already!

I see an upgrade in your future. Anything between 3-4 ctw range is sweet spot for me. I consider them the perfect size.

 

[AntiqueMovalGal]

I love seeing everyone’s diamond studs. How do you dress yours up? Do you have earring jackets? I just created a thread on this because I’m curious.

 

[KristinTech]

First post! DH recently gifted me my very first pair of diamond studs for our anniversary. These are from BN — .9 ctw, 14k WG, guardian (lapousette) backs. I color, ideal cut, VVS2. I went back and forth for months about whether to get martinis or baskets, but ultimately went with 4-prong baskets. I’m still not totally sure! I sometimes think these may be too big for everyday wear (especially working in healthcare), but that may just be because DSS hasn’t set in yet! Love looking at everyone’s beauties <3

@shinyprettythings How are you adjusting? Tell me about the backs! Are they manageable? I’m tempted to upgrade soon, and I’m curious about how to set mine....

I also want to know if DSS has set in yet.

No they are stunning. D color VVS wow.. I can only imagine

 

[Mreader]

I have big earlobes so even my 3 ctw doesn’t look huge; one day I’ll go for 4 ctw (stares dreamily into the distance).

@Mreader Your earrings are beautiful. I have 3.04 studs....so the same size...I love the size...so I won’t be upgrading..When I first got them I thought they were too big...
