I just wanted to share some little garnet studs I have just had made. I recently purchased some beautiful IDJ 3-pointer diamond earring jackets from the absolutely gorgeous @ccuheartnurse and have been looking for some coloured stone studs, preferably pink stones set into rose gold, to wear in them. I found these garnets on gemselect.com. They are the perfect size (5mm) and are my 2 year old daughter's birthstone, as well as being pretty inexpensive!

I am in Australia so had the garnets shipped directly to DanielM, whom I have had make some pieces for me some years ago and has always been a delight to deal with. He set them super quickly into 14ct rose gold for me, and they are being shipped as we speak. I'm really happy with them, and the whole project was under $160AUD...this could become seriously addictive!! 43174368_256713748528351_8630656031631867904_n.jpg 43322884_293360944723292_2702686597110824960_n.jpg

Thanks for sharing, the studs look beautiful! I’m really keen to buy a pair similar, it’s my wedding anniversary next month and I might have to give hubby a bit of nudge ;)2. Did that include shipping and gst for Australia?

Thanks for the lovely compliments everyone! @Sparkles88 sorry I didn't add shipping into that amount, but it was only $25USD for shipping.

And extra sorry, that should say under $180AUD, not $160! So all up around $200AUD, for garnets, setting and shipping/insurance. A lot better than the $400+ I was quoted here!

That’s a good saving, half the price! Enough for another pair, with a different coloured stone :lol:

They're here! And they snuggle perfectly into the jackets, I'm really happy with them! I'm already plotting a blue pair, and likely some greens too :Up_to_something: I've got pretty meaty earlobes and these babies fill them in nicely.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!

@sydneyatl and @Fancygems I am so sorry I never answered your question! My little flower studs are from an Australian online seller called Catherine Trenton Jewellery. She has a website and is on Etsy too.

I love your garnet studs and they look amazing in the jackets! So versatile!

Sorry to further threadjack but I’ve looked up the flower earrings on Etsy, they are SO pretty! What do you think of the diamond quality, are they sparkly?

They're absolutely gorgeous @Snowdrop13, I'm very happy with them and get heaps of compliments on them. Considering the diamonds are so teeny weeny (3 pointers I think?!) they are super white and have heaps of sparkle and fire. And the studs themselves are delicate, but very sturdy and well made. I just love them :kiss2: I'd love to buy a single one to attach to a chain for a matching necklace!

That’s great news! I’ve often wondered about buying the Whiteflash Flower Cluster studs but they somehow look a wee bit old-fashioned in their design, yours are much more contemporary and fresh.
