Fun with IDJ Jackets and my new (to me) vintage 1950s Sardinian Coral Ball Studs

[fioratura]

How yummy is this combination?! I’ve been lusting for some fun colorful studs to wear with my IDJ jackets for a while, and I love the combination of coral and diamond, especially in the summer. I snagged these cute vintage coral studs on eBay at a great price and I love the result! They are 5mm and fit really nicely. I recently bought some 6mm turquoise balls but they stuck out too far from the jacket for my taste so I’m returning them for 4mm, which I fear might be too small (that specific vendor doesn’t have 5mms). For now, I’m glad these coral babies turned out just right!

How big are the diamonds in the jackets? I have a necklace I will probably recycle and I wonder if I could reuse the melee for jackets!

I'm pretty sure these are .03 each. I tried the .05 too and they were really beautiful and had more of a flower cluster look (like my e-ring actually), but I decided to go with these. I've been wearing them almost every single day since I got them 2 years ago and I absolutely love them! I totally recommend making the purchase....after all think of all the versatility...it's like many pieces for the price of 1
