I did .. they haven''t responded NEARLY as quickly as they did when I asked "how much"?Date: 6/25/2009 8:22:03 PM

Could you ask Cartier how many total carats are in those earrings? Surely that''s a reasonable question from a potential customer, yes?
That''s a good one.Date: 6/25/2009 8:33:36 PM

Hee! My DH thought I was NUTZO but that''s nothing new. He wanted to slap them on with a whole piece of tape across the front and I''m like NO!!! So I cut a teensy tiny strip & made a loop & stuck it to the back of the earring. It held long enough to get some snaps at least. I knew my PSers would laugh even LOUDER at this whole shebang if I''d had a big ol'' strip of tape plastering them to the side of my head.Date: 6/26/2009 1:08:33 AM

If you''re going for the Jennifer Gardner look, proportionally, I''d say it''s right on.
Yes, yes we would have. And you denied us this why?Date: 6/26/2009 1:13:53 AM

BTW Deco, this belongs in the ''You know your a PSer when....'' top ten.![]()
You''re right ... the diamonds themselves are bead set ... I guess I don''t know the term for the ridge around the whole thing that acts like a border? The same thing happens on my wedding ring -- there''s a metal border around a tray & inside the little trays there are bead set diamonds. Must like that look!Date: 6/26/2009 11:23:54 AM

The Cartier earrings aren''t bezel set, they look bead set.

What do you guys think? Would you go try on the Cartier pair if you knew 100% you''d never pay 3K for them? Even if you were afraid it''ll make you compare any future iteration of them to the originals?Date: 6/27/2009 1:58:06 AM

LOL!! I''ll make some for EVERYBODY! Or, better yet ... just print screen & cut yourself out a fresh pair ... add tape & voila! C''est Cartier! Or, um, Papier?Date: 6/26/2009 1:56:14 PM

That''s the thing ... I can''t TELL if I''d get attached or if it would affect my feelings about an inspiration version! I first saw the particular design of wedding ring I wanted at a vendor who then couldn''t remember where he got it, so couldn''t order it for me. Then I later found an online vendor of a very similar (possibly the same) ring. We ordered that & it is every bit as awesome as that first one I found -- but that''s not the same as creating a new design from an inspiration piece. Puzzlement. Will think on it. Thanks for your advice! Did you take pix at your jewelers??Date: 6/27/2009 7:46:09 PM

Do you think you would get attached to them if you tried them on? If not, go for it. If so, avoid them like the plague.
