I only linked one.... and a couple bigger in the .40 range for $400+ range.. so.. no useless settings... and a little bigger stone...for less... you need to study the stones.. but that was a quick glance.. so if I missed something and I am saying the wrong thing.. sorry!!

The ring ones? I'm starting to think it's a real cr*p shoot that I'd happen to get two rings w/stones that would make a good stud set. But good return policy I guess!

I couldn't figure out how to purchase individual stones and set them into earrings online -- would have to call on that. And their pre-set Asscher studs are pretty pricey (also backordered in the size I'd want). Hmmmmmmm

I would contact him and see how much they cost. I believe he has several sizes listed in the description.

Written by yennyfire » March 14th, 2012, 5:23 pm:That gives me an answer right there. When I REALLY want something, there's not much that will distract me. So, if you've been distracted by spring cleaning (ugh!), then you made the right choice (imho) by not pulling the trigger.

Written by TravelingGal » March 14th, 2012, 5:27 pm:Deco, can you find fakeys in that shape and try it? I only ask because my RBs get dirty so fast in my years and that certainly dulls the sparkle. Aren't asschers even harder to keep clean?

That's the even crazier thing! I *already* have OEC studs (w/miligrained bezels). My next diamond earring purchase should REALLY be huggies. But to get the size I'd want -- lots of saving involved. Grrrrrrrrrr. As TG would say -- "first world problems."

Deco, having studs, I personally think that one pair is enough (unless you're going to boost sizewise). I have diamond hoops now and I rarely wear my studs. Save for the huggies, or something different than studs, is my opinion.

Appreciate the insight! Have you posted ear shots of these diamond hoops of yours? I was at a local jewelry store yesterday getting my xmas watch adjusted *finally* (Kept hoping to lose weight in my wrist!) -- and I was eyeballing up their huggie selection just for fun. Nothing delicious. I do have mini huggies w/scattered gypsy set diamonds. Is it possible I've, in four short years, reached my limit of fine earring fun?

I have one inch diamond hoops, just bought off the clearance section on Solomon Bros. They work well for me. Not ACAs or anything like that, nor is the workmanship top notch, but I decided long ago not to spend a ton on earrings.
