Dh decided that he wanted to get me REAL diamond studs for Mother's day this year, because I've been rocking CZs for years. He finally made good on his promise....but had a LOT of input from me!

So here they are: BGD signature cut, both J VS2 and 0.85 tw. Set in 8-prong platinum setting and Jumbo backs because I have small and thin earlobes!

Those are lovely! I think that's the perfect size for your earlobe. Congratulations and enjoy!

Thank you! and can I just mention that I was concerned that 8 prongs would overwhelm the size of the diamonds, but the prongs are so delicate, I barely see them when they are on, and they just enhance the overall diameter of the diamonds!

I'm glad to hear you say this (and I totally thought the 8 prong was awesome when I saw your pics), I'm having a .75 OEC set in a 6 prong pendant setting and I was a bit worried that the stone might be overwhelmed by the prongs but now I'm not concerned at all.

So sparkly on your ears! The 8 prongs definitely make them look bigger, too! Congrats!

They're beautiful! If I get another pair of studs (mine are just a titch smaller than yours) I'm going for 8-prong martinis for sure!

Thank you all for the lovely comments. I'm thankful for my non-existent earlobes which make these starter size earrings look substantial (for now) . The 8 prongs also make this comfy to wear....It feels like wearing round studs. I definitely recommend the setting!

They're just perfect on you! I would never have thought an 8-prong could look so delicate. And they're really white, too! They look as if they were made for you. :appl:

We are stud twins (mine are 0.88ct BGD signature stones in the 8-prong settings)!! So of course I absolutely LOVE them and they look perfect on your ears :love: :love: :love:

You're right! I went through all 28-29 Pages of the studs and yours stood out as the perfect size for my earlobes, and a great size with your beautiful diamond jackets! Guess what is on my wish list for Christmas :naughty:
