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!
 
Congrats on all fronts!!!
 
They look great on you! Congrats on the new job and Happy Birthday.

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!
 
I love these!!!!!!!!! :love: :lickout: :love: :lickout:
 
it seems we got our truth studs almost the same time:)

Congratulations! And enjoy them! They are trully beautiful :appl:
