After 4 years of hinting....

[iwannaprettyone]

...I finally got the go ahead to get my very own pair of Diamond Studs. After looking at many different vendors I decided to go with WF, and despite my love for FG''s bezels I went with the W-Prong.

Here are my stones. I know VS1 might be overkill for earrings, but I can always trade them...right. Please tell me what you think, did I do ok on my very first ACA purchase?

Setting...

 

[susi]

They are beautiful!

 

[BigDiamonds]

They look beautiful! Please show us some ear shots when you get them!

I have been considering those studs myself...I''m curious to see how they sit on your ear. Will they look more like martinis or baskets when they''re on?

 

[TravelingGal]

I like the w-prongs! Can''t wait to see them. What color are they?

I went with white gold as I LOVE the shiny look and didn't want the weight of Platinum. The diamonds are "I" color.

AHHHHHH i am so excited I could honestly pee. hehehe

Gorgeous! I would have loved I's...but didn't see any I/SI1s, which would have probably maxed out our budget.
Gotta love those ACA shots. Seems like there has been a lot of stud hunting around here lately...women on the prowl!!

ETA, I love the shiny look of the WG too...would have loved it for my bezels if not for fear of that nickel allergy. We'll see how the platinum hold up on the bezels!

I read a post by a w-prong owner and she said they were much more martini like and sit in tight to the lobe. But we shall see!!! It''s is unbelievable how easy WF makes it to get gorgeous jewelery!

Quickest hundreds of dollars I have ever spent...YIKES

ETA: Although my heart fluttered when the diamonds said SOLD next to them and I forgot about the lavish spending for a minute atleast hehehe

Ooohhh, just looked at yours...Gorgeous!!!

I do not know how I am expected to contain myself!!! AHHHH

 

[gailrmv]

oh I can''t wait to see them - I''m sure you will love them! The w prong is so pretty!!!

 

[Lynn B]

OH! How exciting! The stones are GORGEOUS, you can''t go wrong with ACAs! And studs are just SO MUCH FUN! I love mine. I call diamond studs the "little black dress" of jewelry. Dress ''em UP, dress ''em DOWN... they look great with everything from jeans and flip flops to cocktail dresses.

I cannot WAIT to see how thos beautiful settings fit to your ear. I am a bit obsessive about that... I cannot stand any earring-droop whatsoever, which is why I like the 3-prong martinis. So it will be very fun to see how these ones do!

So, promise to give us a FULL report, AND lots of pictures, too - OK?!! We wanna see those little firecrackers IN ACTION!!!

You bet ya! Off the clock I LIVE in flip flops and capris, but very professional at work. I am hoping these will be the perfect compliment to my wardrobe.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Those will be gorgeous!!! And I love those settings, too! Can''t wait to see pictures!

 

[Rhea]

Those are beautiful!

 

[Matata]

Awesome. Congratulations.....now remember that you have to post lobe pics -- in the sun, in the shade, flower behind lobe, flourescent light pics, halogen light pics....the whole 9 yards!

 

[Mara]

I have a pair of .38 I VS ACA''s in the 3 prong martini and they are knockouts. Fun for everyday for sure!!

Someday soon I hope to get bigger ones! Darn those inventory constraints.

Congrats, enjoy!

 

[Skippy123]

Wow, those are going to be gorgeous! I can''t wait to see them! All you w/new studs are making me want some. hehee

 

[Linda W]

Those are going to be so beautiful, can''t wait to see pictures of them!!!

Linda

 

[Kaleigh]

How exciting. The stones are awesome, and love the W prong setting your picked. I''m really looking forward to your pics!!

 

[Kay]

Ooh, congratulations! Those stones look amazing, and I have been eyeing the W-prong setting for a while. I can''t wait to see ear shots.

 

[bee*]

They''re beautiful! I love them. I''m so tempted to get a pair of diamond studs but I''m so afraid that I''d lose them. Post pics when you get them!

 

[Love in Bloom]

Congrats to you! I love the settings and can''t wait to see more...

 

[iwannaprettyone]

I am wondering how long it will take to get them, especially as I didn''t order them til 5pm and the Thanksgiving break is this week....What have your experiences been?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I couldn''t hardly sleep last night, I have diamond fever...hehehe

 

[iwannaprettyone]

I saw this thread... W-prong and now I am even more excited, I was so worried about droopage.....I especially love how pointed they are at the base.

 

[mela lu]

OMG I cannot WAIT to see them! That is truly the perfect size! I settled on .33 (knowing that i can upgrade), but REALLY thought around .4 is the PERFECT size!

Please take lots a pics! Wowzas. These are going to be beeeeeeeautiful!
