Ok, I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I got my first pair of diamond studs 6 years ago. They are 0.51 tcw. Love them but after discovering PS, shrinkage started to kick in. So, I finally bought a new 1.03 tcw studs back in January. LOVE the new studs.

My old studs were set in 5 prong basket. Last year, I had a pair of earring jackets custom made (with 4 stones) but they were set in bezel. The jackets were inspired by Tiffany''s Diamonds By The Ward Collection. So I wear the bezel jackets with the basket studs. I did not set my 0.51 tcw studs to bezel as I was trying to see if I totally like the jackets. Well, I love the jackets, they turned out better than what I expected. A few weeks later, I was going to re-set my 0.51 tcw to bezel so that they will match the jackets. Well, I was reluctant because I love the classic look of prong studs, so I left the studs the way they were. Plus I was promoted at work so the second half of the year was hectic, changing the setting was the last thing on my mind.
So, when the New Year stated, I decided to get a new BIGGER pair of studs and re-set my old studs to bezel and have them attached permanently to my jackets. Exactly like how the one is set at Tiffany''s.

I must say I am trilled with how they turned out!!! My jeweler did a great job. My 0.51 tcw look so much bigger in bezel, they look like they have gone up to 0.60 ctw. I am on cloud nine now, new bigger studs and new bezel setting for my old studs.
