another pair of Martini Studs by WF

[elle_chris]

I ordered the studs on Monday, got an email from Whiteflash on Wednesday saying they were ready and shipping out Thursday. Getting them today. Talk about fast, wow!. But i got the pic last night after they were shipped and in the picture the prongs look pretty bulky. I''ve been looking and drooling at all the studs here and noticed that the WF ones usually have a thinner prong. Is it just the pic?

They look perfect to me! I borrowed a picture from Krissie''s thread down below, and your prongs look the same. Yours are on the left, Krissie''s on the right:

Yours are maybe a bit more rounded?

yep much more rounded. I finally saw them though and i always forget that the pics are so amplified, in person they don''t look big at all.

They are gorgeous

Thank you I'll do ear pics once the reddness goes away. It's gonna take a bit of time for my lobes to adjust.

lol.. wouldn''t that be a great problem?!

Thank you guys. They were supposed to be a Christmas present from my husband but there was no way I could wait to open that box (and put them on). Especially since I''m the one that did all the leg work! (from my computer directly to whiteflash''s website. heheh).

I love the Martini studs. Can''t wait to see ear shots!

 

[sugarplum]

[geckodani]

Yay! I can''t wait to see them!

 

[redfaerythinker]

ooooh those are on my diamond wishlist! I can''t wait to see some shots on your ears!

 

[chiquitapet]

They are beautiful!! I want exactly a pair like yours!

 

[Rhea]

Do we get to see any real life photos?

 

[elle_chris]

Thanks very much ladies! The stones are ACA, I color, VS2 and SI1 .70 each.

As per Addy''s request, here''s a few ear shots. I would of loved to taken some pics of them in the box, but once they''re on my ear, I''d rather not take them out until going to bed. My ears are still getting used to them, and handeling them too much hurts my ears! hehe.

 

[elle_chris]

here''s another, they practically glow in the dark.. totally love ''em

 

[elle_chris]

I tried putting them in my second hole and as you can see, my ear didn''t take to kindly to it.. ugh

 

[Rhea]

They''re beautiful! My 2nd piercing doesn''t take too kindly to earrings either. It looks like you decided on tension backs?

You should add your photos to earring thread when you get a chance, that thread is sure a great resource!

Those are just stunning! I hope your ears adjust quickly!

 

[Gullfoss]

They are beautiful and a great size on you.

Martini studs are my favorite.

I have a pair of .66 cttw that DH gave me for Christmas a few years ago. I never take them out.

 

[elle_chris]

[btrflygrl23]

Very pretty!

Looks great on you
Hope your ears feel better soon!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Why are they hurting your ears? Is it just because you aren''t used to wearing earrings? I got some white gold earrings and they really hurt my ears. They itch and burn. Should I be persevering seeing as I hardly wear earrings normally?
