@sd_flp Do you happen to have a pair of Lightbox to compare. I’m curious between the two.
Dang, I'm really impressed with the cut! I wonder if you just got lucky. I will post comparisons of the 0.5 and 0.75 ctw when I get them. I wish they had preset solitaire pendants on sale!
@Buttercookies, did you order lightbox & JA but then cancel one? I would have loved to see a comparison!
Who else is waiting for theirs? Excited to see more pics as they come in!
Gorgeous! I'm reeeeally impressed with the cut on these!
Yay! My ship date was 8/17, but I just got an email that my earrings have shipped! I should have them Monday!
So I actually received the 0.75ctw, the 0.5ctw will be here Monday. First impression, they're really nice! Seems like a pretty nice cut and they are super sparkly. I definitely see arrows and tried my hardest to get a pic, but every time I got close they just got dark. I'm excited to compare with the smaller pair. I feel that this size may be a little unnecessarily large but I can probably pull it off!
They look lovely on you! I don’t think they look too big at all. I can’t wait to see your comparison between the .50 ctw to these.
I’m so happy! These just arrived!
I almost didn’t order these as I wanted the 1ctw so I was going to hold out until the next sale. I decided last minute to get these .50 and I’m so glad I did! The price was great and they are so sparkly! I wish I took pics still in the box, but I shoved them in my ears before I even gave it a thought. Lol the good new is, unlike my man hands where I always think I need bigger bling, I have elvish ears and I think these are perfect and I probably won’t even get the bigger ones now! ( now I can put the $ towards a tennis bracelet!). Here’s a terrible pic, in terrible light but it will at least show size
Aren’t they fiery?! I’m so impressed with them and I have been wearing mine non stop since I got them in the mail. They look stunning on you, too!
I know people talk about DSS here but I am seriously considering the .25ctw in the martini settings. I find the .50ctw plenty big and white and I’d love a size smaller for when I go back to work.
I have been loving mine too! I learned that I didn’t really have a reference for stud sizes in my ear - I was afraid the .5ctw would feel small, but I was surprised how big they seem.
Yay! And same...I thought they were going to be much smaller. The sizing scale on the JA website portrayed the .50 ctw studs to be smaller than I anticipated. Not complaining because they’re not too huge and they’re flattering. I think the color definitely makes them look bigger, too.
Here is the comparison of the 0.5ctw to 0.75ctw. The 0.5ctw are super nice too, little arrows flashing like crazy! I feel like the difference is more subtle than the comparison between Loop studs and JA mined stones that I posted earlier in the thread. Hard to decide, I do love the larger pair, they feel more special, but they're $300 more for not much more visual effect. I'm not trying to spend the least, I like simple jewelry and will likely wear these daily for decades so want to get something that makes me happy. But the savings could also go to a different project if I went with the smaller ones...
Opinions please!!

Call me vain lol. But I prefer the larger stud on you. It has more presence.
