Wedding Earrintgs - Please help me choose/find

[clop]

Hi!

I'd love any help choosing/finding my bridal earrings. Attached are styles I particularly fancy.

A - modified Tiffany Swing earrings (I cropped out the last diamond drop)
B - modified Anna Bellagio earrings (I cropped out the last diamond drop)
C - simple pave earrings ~ $700

My budget is < $1000. Are any of these styles able to be custom made within my budget? Also, does anyone recommend any particular vendor?

My first choice is the Tiffany Swing, but at $7k, the price is a bit steep. My dress is very simple, so I'd like something dangly on my lobes. I normally am very minimal, I wear .22 studs everyday, and a very small .17 pendant. I cropped off the last drops for the earrings because I think it may be "too dressy" for me.

Thanks for your help!

eta: apologies for the typos!

Do you know how you plan to wear your hair? Do you have a picture of your dress?

Hi aprilcait,

This is my dress - not me. lol I somehow forgot to take a single picture of me in my dress.

I''m wearing my hair in a low bun, with the top slightly teased for height.

I''d like to wear the earrings again on special occasions. I love option B, but don''t see myself wearing it often, or it matching anything I have. I do think it flatters the simple dress/hair the most, as it''s wonderfully ornate.

I love the modified Anna Bellagios! Gorgeous earrings, and they look like they''re not too ornate, and that you''ll probably be able to wear them again!

Hi Thanks Lauren,

They are my favorite too.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to make? Or which vendors to contact? ie Whiteflash or ERD or Quest etc?

Should this be posted in the RockyTalky thread?

Hi Everyone!

I''ve semi-narrowed down my choices, have additional questions, and would love your input.

clockwise from top left:

WhiteFlash .50 ctw wg earrings $995
White Flash .48 ctw wg earrings $1250 (similiar picture)

My ideal earrings, modified Ana Bellagio & Tiffany Swing.

I am deciding between the two WF earrings - The 3 stone earrings probably matches my wedding dress/hair the best. My hair will be in a low bun. The 5 stone earrings are probably what I would wear more often after the wedding, to special occasions, etc. I don''t see myself wearing the 3 stone as much after the wedding.

Should I have these earrings made in platinum? My other items are platinum (not much): .22 ctw everyday studs, .17 ctw everyday pendant, soon to be ering and band. I''ve had WG jewelry in the past, but they''ve yellowed on me quite quickly. My limited jewelry is what I wear everyday, I quite like the smallness of them - I''ve tried on larger cts and feel they are too big for me (great for my budget!

)

This started out as a search for my bridal jewelry, but I realize it''s really an addition to my ''jewelry box.'' I''ve nixed other pieces because I realized that I probably wouldn''t wear them again after the wedding, because they are not quite me, or are too fancy for my tastes.

So to sum up (sorry for the rambling)

- do you prefer the 3 or 5 stone earrings?
- is platinum worth it?
- lastly, has anyone seen any of these pieces anywhere else?

Thanks so much! I wasn''t sure if this was better suited for here, rockytalky, or the jewelry forum.
