After all my push present dithering, I figured out something a lot better than bling to use the money for (giving it to a friend for something she needs - if I can just get her to take it!) ... and then on our anniversary, my husband very sweetly surprised me by saying that in addition to that, he really wanted me to have something sentimental to mark the occasion, too. And given that he's a practical man, he was aware that because of the blood thinners that I'm on for the baby, my newly pierced earring holes (from February) are still giving me trouble, and he suggested high-karat earrings for less time fussing, and something I could just leave in and feel pretty with.

Sooooooooo ... after some happy squeeing and searching, I settled on Brian Gavin Diamond's pre-set bezel studs for the multi-colored look I've always wanted - WG to YG to RG! I have to say, their pre-set studs are astonishingly reasonable compared to everything else that's out there. :bigsmile:

I already have my beloved IDJ studs in a 1.43 tcw for my first holes - roughly .72 each, with a mm. diameter of 5.9 naked, and 6.4 with the bezel. Lesley tells me that I'm looking at 3.3mm for the 0.12's and approx 4.1 mm for the 0.25's - so, assuming a similarly thin bezel, I'm guessing I'll have a graduation of 6.4 to 4.6 to 3.8 mm. How do y'all think that will look? Anybody who owns the baby bezels wanna chime in or link me? Anybody who's good at photoshop wanna do me a mock-up? Here's a pic of my usual earring line-up, with my studs and the teeny-tiny stars I usually wear ....
