#TBT Handmade Bezel Studs from Whiteflash

[chickpea]

almost a month ago, i promised lorelei pics of my bezel-set beauties in this RT thread. true to my word, i took pictures that weekend but never got around to actually posting them!

i''ve been wearing them daily, and really enjoying how comfortable, versatile, and *sparkly* they are!

without further ado...

let''s try again

arrows in the other

ETA: or maybe that's the same earring! either way, more arrows

out of the box...

the settings (in platinum) are so delicate and perfectly crafted. they sit nice and low - very comfy!

 

[brooklyngirl]

Those are TDF, I am so jealous -- FI is vetoing studs for this year

.

What are the specs on those beauties?

 

[Kaleigh]

Those are gorgeous!!! Just perfection!!

 

[chickpea]

thanks, brooklyngirl and kaleigh!

can''t believe i forgot the specs!
one is .55 ES, J, SI1, the other .574 ACA, I, SI1.

they face up very white - i can hardly detect any warmth in them. i''m sure the cut (and maybe the bezels) contribute to that. they''re completely eyeclean as well. if it weren''t for PS i''d probably never have considered J or SI1, but i seriously couldn''t be happier

YES! I wanna see how they sit against the ear

 

[Ice Princess Cristy]

Very beautiful! What a great set and I bet they look amazing on.... can''t wait to see those pics!

 

[baby monster]

Very pretty earrings

Can''t wait to see ear shots!

 

[iheartscience]

Gorgeous! I love that setting-I have a pair myself! Yours are bigger, though, and bigger is pretty much always better in my book!

I can''t wait to see ear shots!

 

[chickpea]

thanks tacori, catmom, ellen, coati, snooper, cristy, baby monster, and thing2of2!

i haven''t managed to get any ear shots yet (these photos were taken with a digital slr which is tricky to aim and focus at your own ear!)

but here''s a shot on my hand for size reference

 

[chickpea]

whoops, double post - sorry!

and a close-up with some baby arrows

and another close-up. i love the colors reflected in the stones in this pic... but please excuse the dry skin!!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Chickpea - those are gorgeous!

I didn't see the stats listed anywhere - do you have the specs on them? They look huge in those gorgeous bezels!

 

[Skippy123]

Beeeeeautiful, congrats!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I love those!!! Can you give us a general idea how much the settings were in platinum?

I'm not chickpea, but they're on the WF website! It says $650.

ETA that I hope you don't mind me saying, chickpea!

 

[chickpea]

thanks everyone

lauren - the specs are buried in one of the posts above. one is expert selection .55 ct J SI1, the other is a cut above .574 I SI1. initially i was concerned they might not match in color or cut quality, but they''re indistinguishable without a loupe!

diamondseeker - though the bezels are handmade, they''re a stock setting and are listed on the WF site (and thing2of2, i don''t mind a bit that you said so

)
