First of all, I want to thank Bob at WF for helping me with this project, as always, he is patient and answers all my questions!

I have a pair of 1.20ttcw studs and wanted to repurpose them to make different earrings - so I got the idea of pearl drop jackets and asked Bob to help me find AAA Akoya pearls. He found me a gorgeous pair of 9mm pearls and they were made with platinum chain and cap. 

So, here are pictures, please don't laugh at my earshots, my freckles are HORRID! I had the worst time trying to take pictures of myself.

BTW, the chain on the right hand side of this picture looks shorter than the left, actually they're the same length, I pushed the earring into the box padding a little bit too much

I love them lucky, what a clever idea.  The pearls have such a beautiful lustre to them and the size is just amazing.  Good for you!!!  BTW, you have lovely ears.

Thanks for the compliment, kaleigh!

I got the idea from Jewels, who had her first recycling project.  Jewels, I hope you don't mind me using your picture, if you have a problem with it, I will delete it from my post..

Great idea - I never think to have jackets made...though I gotta get the stud earrings first!   It's such a great way to get a whole new look at a better price!  It completely changes the look of the earrings!  And looks gorgeous.

Hi Luckyhonu,

I love your new jackets and and your diamond studs!!! They look amazing together. Your diamond studs look huge. I am waiting for my new 1.03 tcw studs which will be ready sometime next month. Your studs look like 1.5 tcw on you. The whole set is just stunning

I don't mind you posting the picture of my jackets at all. I am happy to know that I am able to give others this idea. I love my jackets.....you should seriously think about getting one in bezel like mine. Once I get my new 4 prong studs, I will recycle my old 0.51 tcw studs from 5 prong to bezel.  I can't wait!!

Can you post more pics of your jackets? Would like to see the jackets alone.

Enjoy your new jackets!!

Jewels, I will try and get jacket shots today. The weather here is rainy and so the picture might turn out dark. I'll try when I get home from work.  Thanks again for the great idea! I hope it inspires other projects so we can have more eye candy.

I totally want bezel set diamond jackets now! Will my list EVER end?

Same problem here, icekid!  Used to care less about pearls, but suddenly I am jonesing for them.  What causes that? Age? This website?  Hmmm.  Those earrings are driving me completely over the edge.

I absolutely love this diamond and pearl combo. The sizes are substantial yet not over powering. Love them.

Hello!

I was catching up on all the new bling posted over the holiday period and saw your beautiful pearls in the SMTR thread that nan is doing a beautiful job of updating.

May I just say that they are gorgeous?

Enjoy

Aw, I had some earrings so similar to this.. But they were attached pearls. I had a pair of small diamond studs that I had the jeweler solder o rings like yours are attached. They were my favorite earrings. Smart lady for having them jackets!! I didnt even think of it. You will get huge use from them. Beautiful, just beautiful!
