I could use some advice on my stud earrings. The are about 0.2 each, so quite small. They were a gift from special relatives many years ago, so they have sentimental value. I don''t have any specs but think they are pretty good stones, b/c these relatives used to be in the diamond business. However, I''m thinking about changing the setting so that I enjoy wearing them more. They are currently in 14K yellow gold 4 prong baskets. I wear mostly simple, contemporary jewelry in plat and wg, but you really don''t see the yellow much on these studs. Still, I think I might enjoy them more in a white setting that made them look bigger. I also expect to buy bigger diamond studs eventually, but might be a few years. However, when I do, maybe I will be glad if these guys are in bezels or something different so I won''t have 2 pairs of studs in the same style.
What do you think of these options:
- do nothing, wear em and just hold out for bigger studs
- get them bezeled in white gold
- get them rhodium plated
- change to white gold or plat martini setting (someone did this recently - lmurden? - and it looks fabulous!)
thoughts?
