My wife has ask for stud earrings that she can wear everyday without worrying about losing them. I am looking for suggestions to purchase various colored gemstone studs of good quality/price, I am specifically looking for Aquamarine and a nice red.
Jetflair posts on here from time to time. She has some lovely CS studs. I mean to buy some from her myself but keep putting other projects at the top of my list. <Sigh> Someday...
Coincidentally, last week I received my first order from JetFlair - 2 pairs of her 4mm moonstone cabochon stud earrings set in sterling silver - and I am vey happy with them. They are beautifully crafted, well-matched and lively moonstones, and comfortable to wear 24/7. I bought them for my 2nd and 3rd ear piercings, and the 4mm size is perfect, small enough to permit wearing any style earring on my 1st ear piercings, but still large enough to have a nice presence on the ear.
Since this was my 1st purchase with JetFlair, I just went with the standard fare available on the etsy site. But she can craft any of the earrings in gold, and I may try that next time.
I haven't bought earrings from any other vendor, but can say the rings I received from DanielM were all very well made.
Good luck with your search - what a lovely present for your wife!
