It's the Truth...I love my new studs!

I've mentioned a few times in the past that I was craving a nice set of everyday diamond studs. I could never justify the cost, though. Then we moved across the country for my husband's job and I had to give up my job with no great prospects of getting another. Through a stroke of luck I still can't believe myself, I scored an interview two weeks after we got here and got the job! It's completely awesome, more interesting work and even better pay than what I had before. That, combined with the fact I have a significant birthday coming up (crossing one more decade line, yikes!) convinced me that I should just FINALLY go for it. So, these little beauties arrived on Friday from the always-wonderful folks at BGD!

The face-on photo looks a little dark here, but I think it's a reflection of the camera because in real life they're the sparkliest things I've ever seen! They put my poor e-ring to shame, and to my eye they face up just as white as my E does under normal lighting. I went with upgradeable diamonds just in case I wanted to change them some day, but I think the size is just perfect...I won't say never, but I honestly don't see myself wanting to trade them up because they're subtle enough for everyday but still blingy enough to catch the eye!

Now for my not-so-great photos (there's no natural light here, at least not while I'm home. Can't wait for summer!):

Congratulations on the new job! How great does that feel!!!! That seems like a wonderful gift! The new studs are fab! I LOVE that setting! I so wish I had seen that setting when I got my studs last year! I don't think Brian was doing it yet, but if I ever get another pair, I will be getting that setting! Gorgeous! Congrats again all around!

Thank you so much, everyone! It has been a busy few months, for sure. It's also fun to have something to share with you all, and I know there aren't too many examples of the Truth setting for studs here yet. Luv2sparkle, I think this has been a stock setting for maybe 6 months now. It's actually one of the reasons I'm glad I waited until now to get my studs, as I don't care for basket settings and I know the asymmetry of martinis would get to me (I know, I'm weird). I remember writing in a thread probably a year ago that if BGD decided to start doing Truth studs, I would definitely get them...and now here we are!

I'm also really glad I went with platinum, as my mom has a really severe nickel allergy and I think I inherited a bit of sensitivity from her. Usually, after wearing earrings for a few hours, my ears start to get inflamed, but I've been wearing these pretty much all the time since I picked them up Friday with no problems at all. Pricey, but definitely worth it for me!
