nclrgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 500 Last Post: 9/16/2009 Member Since: 2/13/2008	Hi there! I'm starting to think seriously about buying new studs with jackets. I'm trying to decide between bezel and 4-prong settings. I'd love to hear your feedback on your earrings! Here are some questions, if anyone would like to share... * Deciding between 4-prong and bezel earrings: What do you have and why do you love them? * Does anyone out there have bezel settings with milgrain on the bezel? If so, can you share pics? * Does anyone out there have bezel earrings that you wear with halo earring jackets? If so, can you share pics? Thank you all SO much! nclrgirl

If you are getting somewhat smaller stones less than .50 each I think that bezels are fantastic in making them look quite a bit bigger. I love the idea of a thin milgrain edge as long as the bezel is thin and delicate. Four prong styles are great and classic, but personally I actually prefer 3-prong martini styles a little better. They are more delicate looking, highlight the stone better, and make the stone look round rather than square.

With my budget, I was thinking about ~0.35 carat each, so the very delicate bezels with milgrain were to make the studs look a tad bigger. :) Does anyone think that Whiteflash might have pictures of their halo jackets with bezel earrings that they might e-mail to me? nclrgirl

Let me know if you want more details, I am not sure of their specifications actually, but I do have ear photos and can give you dimensions.

They will make your heart stop. I personally like bezel halos as well so for me it would be perfect with a jacket.

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,848 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	My studs (.41 per stone) are set in basket settings and I love them! Bezels would have made them look bigger, but at the time, I thought there would be too much metal for my liking. As they're set now, even with the baskets, quite a bit of metal is showing and possibly martini settings would have been the best. I do think that bezels look better with the jackets than 4-prong do, so if I had intended to buy jackets, I'd have gone that route instead.

You mentioned that Widget had a pair. I looked through a bunch of her old posts last night and couldn't find a picture. Did she have a pic posted on PS? Thank yoU! nclrgirl

nclrgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 500 Last Post: 9/16/2009 Member Since: 2/13/2008	Thank you all for your help on this. I have been OBSESSING all this week in the evenings! I think I've decided on the bezel SETTINGS ONLY from thediamond.com ("Perreti" style). Of course the WF halo jackets, and I'd be such a lucky girl to get a pair of ACAs to put in those settings. The only thing holding me up now is that I don't know what size stones to get b/c I'm having a hard time finding out what the inner diameter of the halo jackets is. Hopefully I'll hear back from WF soon and I'll have my new earrings soon to post pics! nclrgirl
