Do you sleep in your diamond studs?

[lil425]

Hi everyone -

For you diamond stud owners - do you wear them 24/7 and if so, how are they set and what size are the stones? Appreciate any info you can supply!

I''ll chime in:

My studs are 1 ctw rounds, F/SI1, plat, in 4-prong baskets w/ screw backs. I don''t sleep in them because the posts poke me. I''ve thought about having them trimmed, but I''m not even sure if that''s possible.

HTH!

I sleep in mine (1 ctw) in 4 prong baskets. They dont bother me at all. I was thinking about having them made into
dangles because the screwbacks are such a pain to take off/put on. Havent done anything about it yet though.

Rarely. Not because they are not comfy, they are. (martini) But because they get so grimy. I like clean diamonds, and they stay cleaner if you take them off at night.

Yes it is possible!

In fact we had to trim te posts on my wife''s earrings so thatshe could be comfrotable sleeping in them.

Mine are .82 ctw, basket setting, with friction backs and yes I wear them to bed. The only time I do not wear them is when I''m in the pool or decide to take them off for a few weeks and wear fun fashion earrings (that''s what I usually do in the summer

)

 

[elle_chris]

No, never sleep in them. Mine are 1.40tcw martini set. I don''t sleep in any jewelry.

 

[Tuckins1]

No way! They would gouge my head!! (They are .5 ct total)

 

[Black Jade]

I sleep in my little ones (.10ctw) all the time. In fact, I put them in at night to keep my second ear holes open, since I don''t always wear an earring in my second holes during the day.

I do not usually sleep in my big ones (1.81 ctw). It CAN be done fairily comfortably--when I have been travelling somewhere and felt they were safer in my ears than on my dressing table, I sleep in them. But I agree, they get dirtier being slept in faster, I feel that there is some danger that they could come off in the night and get lost in the sheets and while I can sleep in them, it''s not as as comfortable as NOT sleeping in them. Mine are from Whiteblash and very well well made-- I have the four prong basket style and they do not poke me at any time, as well as being very secure, with that double push back they do. They never HAVE come out of my ears , either sleeping or awake--I''m just nervous that if I''m asleep, they might.

I sleep in my studs for the last 16 yrs. My studs is 0.40ct each, F color, VVS1 clarity. Its a gift from my mom. when I was still in high school. My studs have four prongs but not a basket prong, its more of a V prong, if its make sense.

I only take them off when I'm off swimming.

Interesting! Thanks for the info. Anything special I should know/ask for? (sorry for the hijack!)

Yes, I usually sleep in mine. The posts don''t really bother me, but when they do I flip my ear over and it''s fine. They do sometimes poke my husband, in which case I''ll adjust my position so they don''t get to him. They stay on for the pool, too. They get a good scrub in the shower everyday, and a US bath once in a while.

You can see the backs in this picture. They are basket-set pears.

I find that the pointy backs are a little more noticeable than the rounded backs, so you might want to ask to have the ends rounded off. (pointy font>

Minor thread jack- I have never seen pear studs before and and Love them

Any ear pics? I''d be interested in how the look on.

 

[D&T]

I used to because they were smaller and the posts were shorter (they still poked not too badly though). My new studs, the post are extremely long

so sad to say no I do not sleep with them on. However, I do wear my huggies diamond earrings 24/7

 

[AprilBaby]

Three pairs each ear every night.

 

[lulu66]

mine are basically in 24/7. they are .66 ctw in a 4 prong basket setting w/screw backs.

 

[VRBeauty]

I sleep in the buff, jewelry-wise...

 

[KaeKae]

No, I don''t wear jewelry to bed. Keeps it all cleaner. (I have round basket set .65 tcw)

 

[CdnBlingGal]

I wear mine 24/7. .80tcw in a martini setting.

 

[faina00]

Mine are 2.5 carats, 4 prong, and no, I never sleep in them! I used to sleep in (other) earrings years ago and I think that stretched one of my holes a bit. I take off all jewelry, including all rings when going to bed.

 

[lil425]

Thank you all so much for the feedback - I appreciate it! Mine are 2 ctw, martini set. I have only had them for a week and it seems that one of the posts are bent. They are platinum. I am thinking that they may have been bent slightly when I got them as I was very eager to put them on. When I finally took them off after one week, I noticed the bend. They are going back to the vendor on Monday, no problem there, but I was wondering if they could have bent when I slept in them?

 

[marcy]

I never sleep in my earrings. I have a pair of .75 ctw studs in YG with screwbacks. I hate screwbacks but I always take my jewelry off at night.

Aww, thanks 4ever! *blush* I''m sorry I don''t have any good pictures on hand. Hubby took the camera with him on a trip, but I''ll try to get some when we get back. For now, here''s one that I cropped out of a picture that I had. I''m sorry it''s not a very good one, but it kinda gives you an idea.

 

[onvacation]

And here's a better pic of them in the box. Apologies for the thread jack!

ETA: Oy, that came out larger than I thought it would. They are fat little pears..

 

[ts44]

Those pears are so fat and cute!

I don''t have diamond studs per se, but I do have a pair of cluster studs my father gave me when I turned 18, they basically look like the attached picture and are about 4mm across, don''t know the ctw but the diamonds are very small, and set in a 14k wg basket setting with a regular push-on back. They have a good deal of sparkle when clean but I think clusters get dirtier faster than plain studs and I wear them basically 24/7. Showers, sleeping, sports, everything. So they always look like crap, I guess.

I find them comfortable to sleep in but the posts are fairly long and can poke me if I am not careful sleeping. The ends of the posts are rounded and not squared off, which helps a good deal. I have big fat earlobes so trimming them down is not an option. If I get studs, I think I would like a martini set...the basket tends to collect dirt and grime like it''s going out of style, and is very tough to clean all the way.

 

[UCLABelle]

I have a pair of .82cttw Tiffany diamond studs with screw backs.....and I rarely take them off to sleep (bad, I know!)...pearls, those I take off.

 

[BlueSki231]

I''ve worn mine 24/7 probably for the past 4 or 5 years!
They''re pretty tiny though.. I think they''re about .30-.40 ctw.

 

[Mystra]

Mine rarely leave my ears. I have multiple ear piercings so they occassionally switch positions, but unless I''m cleaning them, they stay on for sleeping, showering, everything. I love them. However, I definitely agree that they would stay MUCH cleaner if I took them off before bed.
