Diamond jackets with gemstone earrings

[coda72]

I got my diamond jackets back in January, and I started collecting gemstone earrings to wear with them. I prefer the look of the gemstones more than wearing them with diamond studs. Here''s some pics:

With sapphires to match my wedding set:

Coda, I LOVE them with gemstone earrings!

Where did you find those sets of studs?!?!? I have a set of halos for my martinis with ~4.5 mm diamonds, so I would need slightly smaller gemstones.

Coda, I LOVE this idea! I have some diamond jackets that I've been thinking about getting gemstone studs for and now that I've seen your beautiful collection I definitely want to do it! Did you have to have your studs made in particular sizes BTW to get them to fit so perfectly inside the jackets?

I love the color stones with diamond jackets! Where did you get the jackets from? and what size studs are you using? I know, lots of questions but I am absolutely smitten with the concept

Thank you, Cbs, Lauren, Dani, Emm, SDL, Maisie, Coatimundi, Somehowcollide, Dee Jay, akmiss, Skippy, Michelle.

The gemstone studs are actually pretty inexpensive. I got the sapphires and blue topaz from generousgems.com. They were only $99 each for the 5 mm size. I tried the 4 mm size but there was too much space between the jacket and the earring for my liking, so I got the next larger size they have. Even though the jackets are made to fit with smaller studs, 4.5 to 5 mm studs seem to look best. The pink tourmalines are 4.5 mm, and they are from Blue Nile. They were slightly more expensive, around $185. None of these are top quality gemstones, but for the price they aren''t bad.

My e-ring is a radiant, and I did have some more pics on various threads. These pics aren''t the best I''ve ever taken, but the light wasn''t great today, no sunlight.
