al, they look fabulous!!!

i''ve never been a fan of lever backs because of the stationary setting. i''ve never thought of them being able to dangle! love it!!! i can''t wait to see wf put it up on their site as a regular item. i would definitely get something like that! in white of course.

WOW, those are simply AMAZING! I LOVE the settings and the stones are of coarse amazing. I got 1ctw studs a couple of years ago thinking "perfect size". Uh, NO, YOURS are the perfect size! NICE AND BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aljdewey]

nice view of the basket...

I'm constantly amazed at how macro can make something that looks SO minor and delicate IRL look MASSIVE in pictures.....lol

 

[aljdewey]

Love how visible the stone is and how open the setting is.....

 

[aljdewey]

......YUM

OH.....and it's worth noting that these are SI2s, ladies!

 

[aljdewey]

Ok....now for some head shots

This is a bit more representative of presence in person....

 

[aljdewey]

From the view of standing next to someone wearing them.....

another angle

 

[aljdewey]

I tried to capture how much they MOVE.......hopefully this will give an idea.....

I''ll be putting up some more in a while - have to resize em first!

Stay tuned.....

Alj, thanks for the pics!

They are absolutely beautiful. So simple, yet elegant, with a slightly carefree attitude. I LOVE them. Really. Rare is the time I see something on here and not only think, wouldn''t that be nice to have, but ACTUALLY start scheming on how I could get it.

*running out to buy lotto tickets*


Can''t wait for the other pics!

I want some....I really really do....

Alj,
Are you bothered by the stone never facing 100% front? I think mine are like 70% facing front unless I twist the earrings to face frong, but that seems to affect the leverback latch.

 

[Jenn5504]

They look like gorgeous boulders hanging on your ears! I LOVE them! Sooooo pretty and YEA for SI2''s!!!!!!! My FAVORITE!

Thanks so much to Ellen, Eva, Sundial, Monarch, Crown1, Lynn, snlee, skippy, thing2, Marcy, DSeeker, KateBar, Goth, R&P, rough, Clio, Jade, Siamese, JayRenay, Posh Pepper, KimN, Sevens, Angeline, Jenn504…….all of your enthusiasm is really sweet and very appreciated!

Nala – agree with you. I’m still a yellow gal – looks better w/my skin tone. Dandi, I knew you’d probably like these since our likes are so similar! Our e-rings are close enough to be twins.

Milly, I bet they’d look nice in white too. Any photoshop gurus out there who can mock em up in white?

Miranda – take those pears and make em swing! It’s amazing how incredibly lively diamonds can be when they are as free-moving as this!

KCourselle – I KNOW what you mean – I don’t understand at ALL why there aren’t more swingy-style settings out there either. I don’t know if it’s that people are afraid to lose them or if they feel like they have to dress up….don’t know. But BOY, they are all missing the boat!

KtIce – I can’t wait for you to see em either…..and to see your new prize!

Chrono - actually, no, this doesn''t bother me at all. To my way of thinking, studs on the ear don''t face 100% front either. Nothing on the ear does because the ear itself doesn''t face 100% front (thank GOD).

However, they DO face in the same direction your ears do, and they don''t twist off that plane.

Some more, now that I''ve had time to resize...
