Thank you Dreamer_D and Gemfever for making me lust over OECs and OEC earrings. A previous through in the Hangout had asked about PS trends, and I think some things because a trend because we aren't exposed to them outside of PS! I had seen OEC and tranny rings at Single Stone, Wanna Buy a Watch, etc and loved them but never thought of having earrings made! Darn you PS for adding to my wishlist!

Bought the OECs on eBay, offered less than the asking on a Buy it now or Best Offer! Both are about 4.3 mm. Then had them set into 14k white gold art deco replica slide pendants turned into danglies. I added the other parts myself - they're just sterling until I get to the jewelry supply store. The danglies were sold and set by Jan's Jewells. I'm not 100% happy with the soldered jump ring - one of them is off center and the engraving is a bit sloppy. They did make the process easy and seamless and got them back to me in 2 weeks.

The stones are very sparkly and pretty, not perfect but great for earrings! However, I hate not being able to stare at them the way I do my e-ring! No ear shots yet, I'm at work and that would be weird if I took pics of myself. hehe

More pics! I changed out the leverback to a smaller one (but still upgrading it to something fancier) and changed out the component to a little sparkle ball.

Beautiful! I love OECs

 

[Enerchi]

Oh webdiva! Love those earrings on you!! That was a perfect substitute and they look so cool and classy! Awesome idea and fantastic results

 

[vinjewels]

I think they are fabulous! I love octagonal settings.

 

[SparklyOEC]

Just fabulous. I have to say that I'm really loving your collection so far (especially your ering).

 

[webdiva]

Thank you JuneRose, Enerchi, vinjewels and SparklyOEC! I think these are going to be my everyday earrings!

They're tiny OECs but the fire and sparkly is so pretty at night! I can see why these were "candlelight" diamonds!

SparklyOEC, I love your collection, too!

 

[Schafenm]

Cool earrings!!! Like you I need to stop browsing PS. My wish list is getting bigger and bigger

 

[distracts]

Oooh, gorgeous! I love the repro settings for the stones.

Thanks, Schafenm (cute doggie! Is Schafe for Schaeferhund?) and Distracts! So many things on my list - but sometimes I talk myself out of stupid ideas like...Oh, maybe I need an asscher necklace bezel set on a chain from BGD. Oh wait, the asscher will get super dirty and won't sparkle because I wear body lotion. hehe

Nope. That is soooo funny bc it is part of my german last name, but I didn't even realize that was even a word. I just love our families german shepard and think he is too pretty not to be my avatar pic!!!

Webdiva- I love the setting you picked for them! (I had to go hunt down the site when I saw this.) They make great dangles! How about a matching necklace now?

 

[Rhea]

So pretty! The dangles are a great shape and I love how you can change out the tops!

He's very pretty! I work with shepherd rescues so always happy to see them!

Thanks Rhea and Bastetcat!

I don't really wear small necklaces or matchy sets - I wear big bold necklaces but don't think I didn't think about it! Especially when I see lonely OECs looking for a good home...

 

[Dreamer_D]

Very nice! And they echo your engagement ring really well to boot.

 

[yssie]

I love 'em!!

The details *make* them - and they really do fit beautifully with your Ering!!

 

[webdiva]

Thanks Dreamer and Yssie! I love that they're not too matchy to the ring but in the same flavor! Been wearing them everyday! I'm getting DSS, though - uh oh! However, they can't go bigger than 4 mm on this setting and she said mine were the last 4.3 mm she'll set since it was tough.
