Show Me Your Diamond Studs!

[CravingDiamonds]

WOW!! All these studs are gorgeous. I especially love the 3 prongs for studs. This is making me want to go out a buy a pair for myself.

Here's the newest: a cute pair of .33pts each, D color VS2 in white gold bezel. From Blue Nile. I wanted them in platinum but they did not do the small size in either platinum or 18K gold, so I had to get 14K white gold. However, I really like the look after all. I have been wearing these every day, all day, since they arrived in December. They are great performers, HCA scores of 1.1 and .9, GIA ex/ex/ex. Because they are so tiny, it wasn't that expensive to get higher quality and D is my fav color

They are regular push backs, not screw backs, and I have found them easy and secure to wear. It's a very open back on this setting which looks modern and is easy to clean. Super sparkly stones and a great size for any occasion.

Beacon - those look great on you ears and with the bezels, they look a lot bigger! That is the size I am hoping to get some time in the near future...it's a good size for every day - big enough for presence but not too big to be showy.

My French husband proposed to me with a beautiful, but tiny .36 ct. F VS1 diamond. When we upgraded to the sapphire and diamond ring I decided that the diamond would make a beautiful earring. We purchased the ring from The Natural Sapphire Company (I know...) and asked if they could source a matching diamond. They found an ideal .34 ct. G VS2 that had the right look, but sizewise we were told wouldn't be as noticeable since it was bezeled and worn as earrings. When they're in my ears I can't tell and don't think about it, but obviously looking at them side by side you can see the difference. I also like that I can always tell which one is my engagement diamond and we didn't want the new one to outshine the original! It works for now, maye one day I'll upgrade and use the smaller diamond for another project.

Nice earrings! I wonder about milgrain design, who is the most popular designer? Thanks!

 

[Jax172]

I'm pretty sure BGD is a favorite for milgrain

Some nice diamonds in this thread.

I'm a guy and currently have a 0.4ct diamond stud in my left ear.
But comparing my stud to some of the pics here it looks bigger than some 1+ carat diamond studs.

Just curious, but the carat stated on the posts here, are they for both earrings?

I'm currently searching for a 0.5carat diamond stud, but some of these pictures show the 0.5 as really small (in comparison to my 0.4 stud).

 

[heididdl]

yes total carat weight and depending on how close you hold the camera your earrings look bigger.

[Harpertoo]

I had 2 loose stones set a few years ago in WG martini settings....I sort of regret not having the stones graded while they were loose.
They're approx 1ct ea...I need to examine the appraisal and see what that says, not that it would necessarily be accurate.
