A month ago I decided to trade in my 0.68ctw F VS1 studs (also by BGD) to upgrade to slightly blingier 1ctw studs for daily wear. the original setting was screwbacks and the posts hurt my ears every time i put them on and removed them. it also took forever to screw them on securely... so this time around i am trying ones with la poussette backs.

i have Phoenix to thank for walking me through this selection process ! :wavey:

Initially i was settled for J colored studs thinking they should be white enough for the given size, but since i have actually never seen J colored stones in real life, Phoenix just knew i would not be happy with them and talked me out of it with more options on BGD's website... I saw another pair of F colored ones (out of budget), then changed my mind to G colored ones (still out of budget), and eventually gravitated towards a pair of E colored SI1's (within the higher end of my budge), and even had these E colored ones on hold. then the night before i was supposed to remit payment, I spotted a newly added pair of H color VS2's on the website, well within my budget, with a great combination of color and clarity (white enough for this size and mind clean)... I immediately requested for them !

I had been working with the wonderful Jamie throughout this process, who was awesome in terms of answering my many questions, and was patient with me while i changed my mind several times on the diamonds.

the earrings are now completed and I should be receiving them on Thursday !

here are the diamonds:

0.516ct H VS2

I think H VS2 is a great choice for studs! And this will be a nice everyday size!

Ditto. That is the *perfect* mind-clean combination!! :appl:

Those are GORGEOUS!! :love: :love: Can't wait to see earshots. I think I can see the two grooves on the posts. Tell me, did you go for extra-short posts? Enquiring minds want to know! :wink2:

Oh btw, don't forget to take those babies out when you take a shower. The LP post mechanism will rust and break off if subjected to water.

I can't wait to see how you like the backs. I have screw backs on my 1.5ctw studs and HATE them. I have lost 2 or 3 in the unscrewing process down the drain because they fling off my ear and fingers. And they take freaking forever to get on. Ugh. Let me know what you think, I'm thinking of a reset with la pousette backs!
