Hi, I''m a long term lurker. Leon made my martini studs with micropave jackets. His work is just impectable. Even though the price he charged was the highest among all the custom martini studs I quoted at the time, I have no complain at all after seeing his final product.
Originally I wasn''t able to decide between plain martini studs or studs with micropave halo. Then Leon gave me a wonderful suggestion of making the micropave halo as jackets. So now I have two pair of earrings instead of one. When I dress casually, I just wear the plain studs. When I want to dress up, adding the jackets instantly boost the bling effect big time. Besides, I get the idea of having more jackets in the future.
The cost for plain martini studs was $1000, studs and jackets $3000.
You don''t need vvs1 stones that small ... that''s "overkill" IMO. As long as the stones aren''t cloudy or heavily included (i.e - lower than S12) you should be fine. Clarity is the most OVERRATED "c" when it comes to a) ROUND BRILLIANT stones ... and B) SMALL stones.Date: 3/6/2007 10:20:24 AM

i was told to emphasize the colored stone that putting d, vvs2 or above diamonds is best to make the sapphire stand out....
