Anyone want to see some pics of hot studs? 
I recently bought a pair of "fraternal" twins from our dear Dreamer_D -- a 4.05mm OEC and a 4.10mm tranny. The original plan was to pop them into a 3-stone ring.
In the meantime, I took a chance on a £100 ebay ring, planning to use the diamonds in a project for my soon-to-be sister-in-law. The ring turned out to contain two 3.3mm OECs (and a 3.4mm MRB (?)). I decided to keep the OECs, which then meant that my 3-stone ring plan turned into a 5-stone ring plan. The bonus is that after scrapping the 18k gold and reselling the MRB, those little OECs will be free!
I'm having a hard time finding a centre stone for the 5-stone ring and am realising that it might take a lot longer than I'd planned, which means I might do the unthinkable and have these stones made into studs! (Unthinkable for me because I never really liked studs....but..... )
I've popped them all into snap-tite settings to get an idea of how they'd look as studs and I love them! I think I will go ahead and have them set in basic white gold 4-prong settings and wear them until I find the right centre stone for that 5-stone ring. No sense in these little beauties sitting unloved in my jewellery box in the meantime, is there?!
Pics to follow....
