@ThiaChelf Which studs did you order?
Same ones. The 4 prong baskets, one pair 0.25 ct and one pair 0.50 ct.
@ThiaChelf Which studs did you order?
I know it's not the basket setting but you can see a pic of the 3 prong martini setting earlier in this thread. The posts were crooked on my 0.75ctw pair but the 0.5ctw pair were fine. I don't think they were crooked because they got bent though, I think they were just not attached properly in the first place. Overall, in my opinion they weren't flimsy.
The stones are fine. I just wanted a more substantial setting.The stones themselves actually look quite substantial for being 0.5 tcw, I was expecting them to be smaller!
Did you pull open the little drawer in the bottom front of the box? Thats where the paperwork and cloth are.
And so it is! Thanks for the tip!
OMGOMGOMG MY STUDS CAME!!!!
I am FLOORED. They're BEAUTIFUL....and just the preset ones! They’re flashing all over the place and wayyyyy more than my cheapie ones I got at a b&m store.
I got the 0.50 ct for my first of three piercings. The 0.25 are for the second. When I opened the 0.50 I thought wow those look so large since I haven't ever had larger studs than 0.25 ct before. And I thought with my small lobes they would be great with the 0.25 and cover quite a bit.
Is it possible to have DSS right after purchasing???? These are the best studs I've ever owned and I actually caved and got a second set of 0.25 for my third piercing but they haven't come yet. Now I'm rethinking that. Like should I send them back and get 0.75 or even 1 ct??? Or keep and gift to one of my daughters for Christmas?
Fwiw the settings and posts are fine on mine. I dont feel like they're overly thin.
On to a few pics...
So in this one I put the other 0.25 in the last piercing to see what it will look like when I get the other pair.
Same here but it's a little fuzzy.
With my baby 0.10 ct bezels that are not good quality
Same
Better one with both 0.25 in
I'll get more even better pics after work.
Thank you for posting the .25ctw!!! I am still undecided in getting these but I do like having a side by side between the .25 and .50.
And personally, if you were going to go bigger, I say go for 1.0 ctw!

After going back and forth between the 0.5 and 0.75 I opted for the larger ones. You can see my comparison shots earlier in this thread. There's also a different thread comparing 0.5 to 1.0 ctw studs. They aren't a ton bigger, but for me it felt like they were adult earrings while I felt like I was wearing kids earrings with the smaller ones. You have the room for them and nice symmetrical piercings so you can handle the bigger ones!
I’m so excited for you. I say go big! You might as well order the 1ctw now before sale end and you can decide from there.
Omg ikr??? Sales get me every time. I wish I had a 0.35 and 0.50 ct round stone in something I could hold up to my ear to see lolol.
I think if you want the size difference to be proportionally similar to the other two, you might want to do the 1ctw. The difference between the 0.75 and 0.5 is a little more subtle.
@ThiaChelf I'd love to see a profile of your stud settings? Your's look very nice!
