I emailed Becca to tell her I'm going with the 7mm stones with the 6 prong martinis and jumbo backs...it takes 12 days to finish them...I'm going to have to distract myself for 12 days lol. I'll post pics when they arrive!!
Oh how fun thank you!!! Yes it sounds so fun. I agree it's so great to have fellowship with others who have the same hobby and love for jewels, especially because it's a rare thing. I hope there is a big SoCal gathering some time this year! With my little ones, I can't leave them to travel far, but I can drive lol. I remember seeing that thread for the GTG in Texas, and wished I could go, but that won't happen till my kiddos are older lol
Hi Deb thanks for the reply!!!!I actually went a different direction since the beginning of this thread..it's definitely confusing since I changed my mind so many times lol...my last post has the latest
PS I have found jumbo backs incredibly helpful for preventing droopage. I also cant wear normal basket settings but need a slightly cupped earring setting so the earrings pop forward instead of following the slope of my nonexistent earlobe and pointing down...otherwise I couldn't wear larger than 5- 6mm stones lol...jumbo backs or even the plastic disc backs also give me more earlobe to work with, otherwise I have literally almost none and everything droops lol. the pics i posted are with jumbo backs and they make it "appear" as if I have normal size earlobes
Tell them before they shipped it out !but I think the ones they did also beautiful !and maybe even little bit better than super Tiny claws cause they can catch hair. David Klass made mine and they are awesome but they are on the chunky sideThis is the pic of M-2-B's that I had requested they make the prongs like....
Thank you !! Yes I was inspired by the clover setting and after seeing how much impact it does to the stones (increasing visual size ) I made something similar to my ring too !!!
its like bezel setting without bezel with a chance to do not hide some stone in setting .
I've always liked that clover setting as well and have thought about doing it
Goldenfire I am in LA too, we should definitely have one!Random question, is there a PS yearly SoCal get together? I thought I had heard of one in LA at some point but can't remember. That would be so fun to get a bunch of sparkly sisters together and so fun to see all the jewels irl
Yes for sure! Even if it's a small one. i am actually in the Temecula area, originally from San Diego, we moved out here for work a few years back. But I am driving distance from LA
What she said.
I had them send pics of the front view & this is how they look. Even though they aren't the claws that i had asked for, I decided I might like them and wanted to try them first before changing because they are similar to the Costco setting that I liked. It's funny because in macro pics I love the way that the tiny claws look, but on the ears from a distance I actually really liked the slightly larger look that the costco setting gave the diamonds....so they are shipping today and I get them tmrw!!!! I think they are shipping upgraded because of the prong goof up so I can decide and get them rolling quickly. they are willing to change them ofcourse if I want
Oh thank you ! When I was deciding,I couldntd find any ear shots to see how they are going to look in real life !but I took a chance bcs anyway I was doing custom setting and the price for regular 6 prongs claw was the same as for these little bit interestingDid you make a thread and post ear shots???!!! I love them
def do it ! It gives a big boost to diamond size !the stones are 0.49 and 0.45 ,with setting they look like 0.60-0.70 diamonds. I posted somewhere ear shots I guess in show me your stud earrings . But let me search my phone and maybe I find them ))
Thank you ladies @diamondseeker2006 and @goldenfire ! I will try to get some new pictures !! I wear them everyday since I got them , nice size and very comfortable

Hahaha...yes I imagine the focal point won't be..."hmm, your prongs aren't pointy enough"...lol I hope I love them! I pick them up some time tmrw before 3pmTrust me, all anybody's going to see is bling, bling, bling!

What?!!!! My husband and I graduated from UCSD, I was in Muir and he was in Roosevelt. (I actually grew up about 8-10 minutes from UCSD- I love that area, then we moved to Poway when I was a freshman) My husband and I met and became best friends the first week of our freshman year at UCSD and the rest is history lol. We taught school for a few years after we graduated, then went up to LA for grad school, and when it came time to get a job 5 years later after degrees were done, we moved to this area. Let me tell you the hot inland weather took a while to get used to for this beach girl lol. We actually just bought a home in Menifee 2 yrs ago (20 min north of Temecula), I just say we live in Temecula because no one knows where Menifee is lol. My oldest son actually goes to Linfield school in Temecula, he is a sophomore and in football so we drive there a LOT now. I can't wait till he has his license so we can do a little less driving!...My in-laws go to the wineries all the time. They do jazz concerts a lot. Some day when we don't have 3 younger kids and constant homework, carpooling and sports, we will go to the wineries lol. Believe it or not I feel spoiled now because for the first time in almost 16 years, I don't have kids home from 9-2pm!!!! It feels like a vacation to actually have time to get something done or do something for myself without 3 little voices around all needing something...or needing me to referee in some fashion. I do my yoga and sauna almost daily now in a peaceful house and it has been like a staycation lol.I'm in Temecula every couple of months (will be there in 3 weeks, in fact). My god son is at UCSD, so we normally drive to San Diego for the morning and lunch, then drop in to our favorite wineries (we're members at Leoness, Europa, Fazeli) on the way home. It's a wonderful day out.
Re your earrings - I think the prongs will be much smaller than the Costco ones. On earrings, I think the rounded prongs can be very flattering and discreet. I think your earrings are going to look great.
Can't wait to see your photos of them!
