need flush setting for diamond earring studs HELP!!

[Carnevil]

Just purchased 2 stones with 4 prong basket setting for earrings. The thing is,,,, the basket is flying out of my wifes ear.
Is there any flush settings that are better and don't look ridiculously like its a basket with a falling diamond?

try martini settings?

 

[Carnevil]

That's more flushed to the ear?

 

[slg47]

yes. martinis sit closer to the ear than basket settings.

 

[D&T]

yes this is 3 prong martini setting that comes to more visible point unlike a basket, which sinks into the ear holes a little more

Why would anyone like a basket that droops?

No one would! How big are the stones?

Edit - here is a thread that shows lots of diamond studs so your wife can pick what she likes.

I think it has more to do with the angle of each persons piercing. My basket studs (1.5 ctw) are perfect on my ears- straight ahead, no drooping. On my MIL they are all droopy and wonky.

I think I may go with martini set, less metal, more flush....

I'd rather see more of the diamond than the basket setting...
