Hey all:
It's hard to believe that it has been four years since I joined PS and lurked, participated and purchased things to my heart's content. Now I've lived with these purchases for a while and realize there are certain things I don't wear and would rather sell. Among these are the jackets listed below.

These are gorgeous .64 carat earring jackets. Diamonds seem to be 2 pointers and original owner purchased from good old gold. They are bright and lovely and really enlarge a diamond. I just don't think my lobes look great with earring jackets this big. IMG_0006.JPG

The next thing I jumped at was from another PS'er that had sold me my gorgeous emerald cut FLY diamond earlier this year. It's a 2.03 ct GIA Fancy Brown Greenish Yellow Round Brilliant diamond. I recall seeing this one and thinking it was beautiful- but I was really hoping to do something in a solitaire and I don't think it complements my olive skin. It's more green than yellow-although a chameleon and looks just stunning away from the sun. I would probably love it in a floral setting like the original owner had it in, but I'm going to stick to the solitaire plan. After all, I got that gorgeous FLY in a halo...

Finally, I got other small things for sale.

LOL! It comes to full circle! My 1.26ctw studs are prongs, though :cry2:
Do you think it'd be too much gap? I have bezel studs but they are tiny 0.75ctw

Funny, right? :))

I'm not sure re size. Possibly the gap would be too noticeable, but I'm really not sure.

Hey! @CoolKat
For reference- the aquamarine above is 6mm, but with the basket setting it lays flat and although there’s an air line- it’s doesn’t look bad to me and I’ve worn it like this.
My diamond studs are 6.5mm, but with the martini setting it doesn’t lay flat. If it did- I think it would fit just right.
I think it’s your preference. I would look at the mm size of your studs and compare to the photos and figure out if the gap would bug you.
Now for some reason I never considered bezel setting my studs and I love bezel set rings!:lol:

LOL! Don't change your mind now that mrs-b mentioned it, IslandBB! :whistle: I think if I don't like the look of the gap I can always wear them to jazz up my pearls earrings. I have tons of Tahitian pearls earrings but always think they are too "flat" for my big ear lobes! :kiss2:

Thank you so much, ladies!

IslandBB - paypal coming up! :kiss2:

Great idea! @mrs-b I recall had them pictured with some beautiful pearl studs too!
I’ll keep an eye out for PP. Thanks!

My pearls looked AWESOME in these jackets!

As for bezels vs prongs - I find that prongs take up about the same space as bezels - so you still need the same size jacket. It just sits differently tho, and I prefer the smoother look of bezels (less gaps). But you'd still need about the same size jackets for them to fit. As @IslandBB said, it's more a case of the look you want.

What I *can* tell you, tho, is that these are lovely quality. I bought them after having so-so jackets for some time, and the better quality of the diamonds was immediately apparent.

Congratulations and thanks for confirming the earring jackets were sold. I think they are beautiful and I was pretty sure you'd sold them :).

Thank you! Just wrote you back. :mrgreen2:

Thank you! Wrote you back!

In a turn of events, I am going to suspend selling the diamond and have pulled the listing. Strangely all the inquiries for pics and videos made me have second thoughts and I want to be absolutely sure before I let go!

Thank for the inquiries and for everyone’s patience!:oops:

That diamond is so pretty. Maybe turn it into a pendant with a halo!

[QUOTE="IslandBB] @lindam1503 Thank you! I’m sure the new owner will love them![/QUOTE]

Turns out that the post of my studs were too big to fit in the jacket (booo!) but been wearing them with my pearls (yaaaay!) and loving them! Thank you so much, @IslandBB & mrs-b! :kiss2:
