My baby K''s are DONE! WF 3prong Martini studs

[Jenn5504]

I got my new studs today! I just had to share some pics. I''m THRILLED with them! Traci at WF found the stones for me. She was WoNdErFuL to work with! THANK YOU, TRACI!!!!

And thank you PS, without this wonderful place I am sure I would NEVER have such GoRgEoUs diamonds!

1.22 ctw K color SI2/VS2 clarity 3prong WF martini studs (white gold stock settings---no the handmade martini''s that I''ve DROOLED over and will continue to drool over. Would have liked to do handmade but I was already AT budget and Traci actually talked me into the stock settings.)

My ering is a K so I was pretty sure I wanted to go K for the studs. I''m glad I did! It got me a little extra size and I''m very impressed with how WHITE these babies face up!

They are TRULY firecrackers, I catch glimpses of arrows constantly, lots of fire, just amazing compared to my old, VERY poorly cut 1ctw princess studs.

Both stones are AGS0, K color

Stone #1:
0.621 SI2 (eye clean!)
5.47 X 5.49 X 3.39
Table: 55.0%
Crown Angle: 34.6
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Depth: 61.8
HCA: 1.3 EX EX EX VG
Stone #2:
0.606 VS2
5.43 X 5.46 X 3.34
Table: 55.7%
Crown Angle: 34.4
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Depth: 61.3%
HCA: 0.7 EX EX EX VG

My baby K''s snuggling on the counter

 

[Jenn5504]

Throwing off some FIRE!

 

[Jenn5504]

I apologize for my ugly ears, awful skin and the whole mess that is me........but ISN''T THE EARRING PRETTY!

 

[Jenn5504]

Another pic of my left ear. This hole is doing ok. The other side is SO torn...... I wish my holes weren't so crooked.

 

[Jenn5504]

Now the droopy hole side. BUT TELL ME THESE K''S DON''T FACE UP WHITE WHITE WHITE!

 

[Linda W]

Beautiful earrings, I love the size and they are gorgeous on you. Secondly, you DO NOT have ugly ears or skin. Geez Louise, you look beeautiful!!!!!


Linda

 

[Jenn5504]

I apologize for TOO MANY pics......a few more, bare with me.......

 

[Jenn5504]

I wanted to include this shot with my .59 I SI1 pendant. This was a BN purchase......a little before PS days....it''s a "signature ideal cut" but does NOT score well on the HCA. It''s sparkley and I do like it. Now I wish it was in a martini setting though! ANYHOW, thought it would be nice to include the I color stone for comparison to the baby K''s!

 

[Jenn5504]

THE WHOLE CREW!

(please excuse Momma K, she's DIRTY, as are the band and pendant....)

 

[Jenn5504]

Now for the scary, DREADED full shot. I don''t enjoy sharing this........but I REALLY liked seeing these shots to get an idea of stud size. SO, I''m taking one for the team in hopes that one day this pic will help a future stud shopper get an idea of size....

 

[Jenn5504]

LAST ONE. Anyone who actually looks at all of these is a real gem...... I truly appreciate everyone indulging me!

Awwww, you are TOO kind.

 

[luvmyhalo]

They''re gorgeous...and you are so pretty!!! Seriously, your skin is beautiful!

Oh and I must say that I looove your granite! (I''m an interior designer obsessed with granite, marble, travertine, etc....DORK, I know!)

 

[dani13]

Oh my, Jenn, they are beautiful!!! And you are GORGEOUS, woman!!! I love them on you!!! They are icy white and are an awesome size!!! Congrats!!!

 

[cara]

Those look awesome. They look so awesome that I am even more tempted to get the slightly smaller studs that would already be a budget stretch because if they look just slightly less awesome than yours, that would still be good enough!! (Did that make any sense?)

And thank you for taking one for the team, though I have no idea what would be problematic about those particular pictures, the full face pics of studs are so useful to get some clue of proportion and size. The ear alone is a poor scale bar!

Congrats, those rocks rock!

Thank you, luvmyhalo! OMG, I became VERY obsessed with granite during the 2 month nutty search to find this. I just had it installed a couple of months ago and LOVE it. I looked and looked and could NOT find something I loved then walking out of a showroom one day I saw these slabs and it was love at first sight!

Some friends look at me and at my counters like "are you crazy!?" but I LOVE it!

 

[Jenn5504]

Dani, you are way WAY too kind. Thank you! I know, aren''t you surprised at how white they show up for K''s?! Really, I think more people should at least consider K''s for studs and pendants, I''m SHOCKED. The warmth is less apparant than my ring. Probably because they are smaller, but MAN, I love them. Would REALLY REALLY love to have 1.5 - 2 ctw some day. SOME day.

Cara, you made perfect sense, and CRACKED me up!

Thank you for your very generous compliments, too.............

Ok, what studs are you considering? I'm all for lending some gentle pressure towards anyone elses diamond purcahses!

 

[Ellen]

Seriously, they are WHITE. And gorgeous. I would have never guessed they were K''s. Well done, girl!!!!

 

[ribbit]

Very pretty-you and the rocks!

 

[somehowcollide]

Pretty earrings for a pretty girl! What a perfect PS world!

 

[snlee]

Those are some gorgeous K''s! They looks fabulous on you! What a great size! Love your new studs and your whole collection Jenn!

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

I was considering a J color pair for studs, now you have convinced me that it would be a good choice! You look great and so do your diamonds!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Blazing white!

You are so pretty and they are the perfect size for you!

 

[baby monster]

Gorgeous

Can''t believe these are K!

 

[motownmama]

You''re earrings look FABULOUS! If your hole is torn try the REALLY large backs - my earrings are 1/2 carats each and they used to hang down in my stretched our holes, but now they look just perfect.
