If you were going to get diamond studs, less than a carat total, what would you get and who would you get them from?
Requirements:
Vendors in consideration:
Setting styles in consideration:
I recently lost a pair of studs I've had for 20 years, and am also considering selling another pair that I recently reset and don't like the way they are sitting on my earlobes. I haven't ever had settings (for stones this size) with a flat bottom, and the new setting sits crooked on my ears, probably due to the angle of the piercing, or the heaviness of the setting. For smaller stones, it's not noticeable.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Requirements:

preferably something with a martini type basket that comes to one point where it goes into the ear, but doesn't have to be 3 prong on top
