Citrine and Spessartite Earrings in settings

[Stone Hunter]

Back in Feb 2017 I posted about purchasing Citrine and Spessertite stones. Check out this thread for specifics. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/master-cut-gems-february-sale.228830/

I had them set in 14 K yellow gold Stuller earring settings. The smaller stones were very deep and my first choice was too deep for the setting.

The Citrines are 5 mm each. The Spessartites are 3 mm to 3.2 mm each.

Here is a shot of one 5 mm Citrine in my ear.


A close up of the Citrine and the Spess. Cropping this photo has blurred it a bit. I'll try to get better photos.

5mm rounds are fairly small by PS standards but seem to be a good fit for my ear size. Especially since I added a second stud.

Inside without a flash and without cleaning them first.


Here they are showing their backsides!

Here they are after being cleaned. You can see some of the facets. These stones are from Master Cut Gems.

Thank you LisaRN and MissyBeaucoup!

I am enjoying wearing them. The Citrines were sold as a 5 mm pair but my jeweler felt they were a touch larger. Boy is it HARD to get good ear shots.

I just love colored studs! They look great in yellow gold. I remember your original post about the stones. I know what you mean about earring in ear shots. It’s so hard to take those shots. I gave up.

Stone Hunter, please just tell me I’m being rude if you don’t want to answer, but how much did you pay to have your larger earrings set into the Stiller settings? I need to get a pair of umbalites set. I paid $100 to get my chrysoberyls set into white gold, but I had the vendor set them right then and there at a gem show.

Thanks chatoyancy! I had these set months ago so I'd have to look for a receipt to be exact. I think $100 for the mountings and the setting of the two larger stones is about about what I paid. HTH

Thank you Stone Hunter. That really helps!
