Show Me Your Diamond Studs!

[Arete03]

To round out my metal options, here are the light yellow lab diamond studs done in 18K yellow gold. I have rose, white and now yellow gold diamond studs.

Here is the genius in the design; the stones are not the same diameter. One diamond is 1.32ct and the other is 1.45ct. Amy at David Klass was able to camouflage the diameter difference in the design of the bezel. The base of the setting is angled in slightly so it disappears when looking straight at the earring.

They are simple in design and intended to sit low and flat on the ear. This is a larger size diamond for me and probably would have selected something smaller. However, I was able to pick these stones up for a very good price. It’s a simple design inspired by a vintage pair.

Wow! I love your yellow diamond and the setting is fabulous! I would love to see mod shots of these, if you have some! My new studs I just received are very close in size to yours. I'm following to get reset ideas and I'm finding new interest in bezel set studs

Hi there, I know you weren't replying to me, but I have a very similar pair. They are set in a curved basket which sits very flat to the lobe but the biggest difference in terms of droop prevention is jumbo backs. Try that?

I'm so glad you sent this response. I did not see your post when I wrote my question re bezel set. I LOVE yours. The milgrain is nice and I think my favorite part is how razor thin the bezel appears. I see the crossbars are rounded - do you feel this helps prevent stretching of the ear hole, like martini settings may do? I like how close martinis sit to the ear, but I do feel like it sits down into my piercing more and irritates my ear (I have very sensitive ears). I also really love how they look in your ear. Thank you!

Thank you! I love this pair too. To answer your question, yes absolutely it makes the stud sit flat against my ear without the back being pulled into my piercing hole. I forgot to post my OEC studs reset in this thread, but if you look on my SMTB post here you will see I had precisely the same issue with the original settings (not martini, but narrow).

Wednesday I received my new stud (only one ear pierced). It's a lab in yellow gold tulip setting. The smaller one is an older moissanite stud.

Really happy with it.

@MamaBear These are STUNNING and look perfect! Can you give details on the settings?

 

[MamaBear]

Thank you! I LOVE them so much! I went with the 8-prong platinum “martini” setting. They are a bit rounded on the bottom and sit beautifully on my ear with the jumbo earring back.

I wanted something a little bit more unique and on the warm side (because of my skintone) so here’s my 3tcw princess cut studs on yellow gold bezel setting with L Color, SI2 clarity.

My studs are a little peculiar - they're my mom's side diamonds from a ring she reset. I asked her what she was going to do with them, and she said nothing, they were too small. I offered to buy them from her, but she set them in earrings for my Christmas present. I love them.

so unique! and so sweet of your mom <3

Bath complete! Gosh I love taking them out of my ears to clean them.. so that I can stare at their beauty
