3.4 ctw August Vintage European Studs with Hand-Forged Jackets!

[Crystal_Dreams]

STUNNING!! I’m such a fan of floral settings. This is beautiful!

Gorgeous stones and AMAZING settings! Enjoy! They look lovely on you. I looked at your original thread - what size halo stones did you end up selecting (sorry if you mentioned it elsewhere - I didn't see it) I love the ratio and I have been deliberating jackets for my studs which are similar sized.

Absolutely stunning. The jackets fit perfectly.

These are incredible! Count me as envious!!! They surely would go well with my ring!

I will have to say, Jon's bench did very high quality work! I am very impressed with the design and how the earrings fit so perfectly in the jackets. The one thing we need are photos of the studs and studs with jackets on your ears!!! I am dying to see the size when worn!

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback! I have to agree, Jon's bench did a great job. He told me his master, hand-forged bench does work commensurate with that of CvB, Leon Mege, Steven Kirsch, and Victor Canera. I took a close look at the pave on the earrings right next to the pave on my Steven Kirsch engagement ring, and I could tell a different, but it was slight. Basically, without a loupe, I can't see any prongs on Steven's pave (it's almost like he put the melee into tiny little cups without prongs!), but I can see tiny dots that are the prongs on my earrings. The difference really is minimal, and it completely doesn't matter for earrings. I also love the delicate, swoopy curves of the basket on the earrings themselves and on the jackets. The craftsmanship is so delicate and fine. And the upside of working with Jon is that you get CADs upon CADs to review and approve, rather than just dropping off the diamond with a hand-forged bench and hoping for the best.

Jon encouraged me to spring for his best bench, and I'm so glad I did! I'm thrilled with the results!

Thank you! I have to say, I am green with envy over your gorgeous emerald ring! The deal of the century! You need to start a SMTB thread on it!

Awww, thank you! I need to post on several new items too - I've been on a bit of a shopping spree of late but we (finally) completed our move-in two weeks ago and ugh, I'm sure everyone can relate to the joy of moving. I shouldn't even be on here as often as I am but I need an escape from the piles of boxes all over my new house, at this rate I'll be done by Christmas

 

[Queenie60]

Fabulous and they look great on you! Enjoy and congratulations.

 

[itskcc]

OMG! Swoon. Squeal. Well done, you!!

 

[Rosebloom]

These are PHENOMENAL!! What spectacular earrings. My dream pair, to be honest!

 

[RunningwithScissors]

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say your earrings are perfect!

1.7 ct each is the size of my dreams!

And your flower basket setting is lovely. I hadn't seen that before and it pairs so nicely with OEC diamonds.

Top notch! Enjoy!

They are absolutely gorgeous and perfect on your ears!
