Hello all.
1.gif


I''m looking to find some teeny little bezel set diamond studs for my second hole. The smallest I''ve been able to find are .25ctw, and I want around 1 pointers. Anyone seen any along those lines?

I''m hoping to have a coordinating set, LOL. 1 pointers in my band (not here yet) little bezel surprises in my ering and hopefully soon some in my ears!

Gecko are you wanting .01 each or .10 each? I just feel like .01 would be lost in any ear hole?

Hmm. I really want them teeny, like 1-1.5mm in diameter. I have little ears, and wante really teeny earrings LOL. 1 pointers may be a bit too teeny though.
 
You might want to search for baby earrings. I think they''re usually .1 carats or smaller.

Hee hee! Good call.

ETA: I may be thinking too small, even the baby ones are 3mm, LOL.
 
I have seen a lot of 0.1 tcw earrings in local stores here (Brazil), which are very, very small. I don''t think you could get an earring smaller than that - it would just go straight through the hole!

All are prong set, though.

Ok, I just found these in an auction site: 0.02 tcw studs. Very, very tiny and very expensive as well: around $90 (I hate buying jewelry around here: it is just overpriced and overtaxed). I don''t like the metal base around the diamond, though.

These are 0.06tcw:

And 0.12 tcw bezels (quite yellow, though)

I hope these help you get a notion of size.

Thank you Lady D! I think I was aiming a wee bit too small. Those definitely helped give me a better sense of size - thank you!
 
Yeah I think you want .10 not .01! I have teeny baby bezels from Tiffany''s that are .16 tcw...but they aren''t cheap. I found mine used.
 
Those Tiffany ones are gorgeous

Did you find them on Ebay, Neatfreak? I''d love a pair that size but am not ponying up Tiff prices

Um, yeah. Those are gorgeous and totally out of my price range! That''s more expensive than my band!

I did! I found them a year or so ago, for about $300 IIRC. Mine are the .16 tcw in platinum and I love them, they are a perfect everyday little earring.
 
My wedding band has 2 pointers (.02ct), and those would FOR SURE slip right through any pierced ear. I think you're thinking of 10 point stones (.10ct), not 1 point (.01ct). Right?

ETA: Just saw the tiff's ones, you were thinking of 10 points then. They're gorgeous! I bet you could get some from WF or something. Or baby earrings.
 
I really was thinking of little ones, like the 2 pointers in your band Musey. I want them teeeeeeeeny. Like seriously no more than 3mm with the bezel. I wear little teeny little balls all the time no problem.

Could those be shaved down into a circular shape? The diamond size is about right...
 
Hmmm - definitely a thought, thanks oobiecoo! I want your studs little siblings, LOL.

I may be delusional about the size, LOL.
 
Maybe they could make you some tiny ones! It wouldn''t hurt to call and ask. When I called about mine he said he could do pretty much anything I wanted as far as carat weight, mm size, color, etc. They were completely custom but it didn''t make them any more expensive. My studs would be so happy to know they have a couple of little sisters! lol

Hee hee! I have so many other things I need to spend money on right now, LOL. I was hoping these could be a Christmas present. I wear little WG hoops every day, with little gold balls in my 2nd hole, and would love some diamonds! I have teeny little princess ones, but they''re crappy stones and don''t sparkle. My mom got me some from the Jewelry Factory to wear in the 2nd hole at her wedding, and they have visible black inclusions.

DH thinks they look cool and stole one for himself, LOL.

I''ll keep looking.... who knows, I may give them a call at I.D.

Are you loving yours?
 
He has .20 carat total weight bezel studs on his website for only $160. A 0.1 carat diamond will be about 3mm and my bezel added less than a millimeter so the studs would be maybe 3.4mm. Is that still too large?

Here''s a site with a size chart... they are actual size on my computer.

I really do love mine... he hand selected the stones that he said his dad cuts, I believe. They are very sparkly and such a great price. Their return policy is fantastic too!
 
3.4mm would probably work. I should try to find some cheapies that size and make sure I like them. Hmmmm.

Nice chart! I actually really like the .07, LOL! I know, I''m the only woman on here looking for the smallest ones possible, LOL.
 
Ok what about a nose ring? Those are really tiny!

3rd from the top I think... it comes in a straight pin or bone instead of the curved. it also has the diamond clarity, etc so this may be a good choice. Not sure how a "noce pin" works exactly though.

They also have tiny bezel earrings!

I.D. Was more expensive than I can go right now - off to check out the other ones! Thanks!
 
Geckodani I''m so jealous you always seem to have a jewelery project going. I just like to look

I have the tiny .10tcw (5 point each) tiffany ones. They are perfection for the size. I also have tiny ears and wear them every day. I got mine over a year ago, and I am sure they were quite a bit less than they sell for now (but still pricy considering). I looked and looked and couldn''t find any elsewhere that had the perfect baby bezel. Whiteflash would make them, but their price for the custom bezel was high, so it wasn''t worth it for the small, small size stone I wanted.
