New Interchangeable Earring Drops

[dk168]

New interchangeable earring drops to wear with my tiny earth-mined diamond (EMD) huggies had finally arrived today.

Apologies for the stray hair clippings in the photos as I had a haircut shortly before I started to try them on.

The ones with 6mm OEC Moissanites and 3 x 4mm LGD were returned as the original jump rings were too small.





The new ones with pear shaped Aquamarine and Petalite were supposed to reach me in time to wear for events relating to King Charles III's coronation. However, the jump rings were made too large, and I did not like the look of them. So I requested for the jump rings to be replaced with smaller ones, and missed being ship to me in time for the coronation. Hey ho!

The Petalites are not very sparkly against the outer articulated halo with EMD. If I have some spare pennies, I may replace them with more sparkly/better cut stones like Topaz or Danburite etc., and have the Petalites on their own as drops.



The huggies were made with 3mm Moissanites that I already have, in Rhodium-plated Silver, as I want to get the size and shape right first before forking out for a pair of LGD or EMDs. They are fine, however, I would prefer 4mm stones and slightly shorter with a narrower oval shape.




Happy with them all, except perhaps the Petalites for the reason already mentioned above.

Thank you.

The issue I have with the CS dangles is that they make me want a larger pair of paved diamond drops as the current ones are small in comparison!

Honestly @dk168 I think they’re a really wearable size, not too blingy for day time. Of course, you could always get a bigger pair anyway

@Dandi this is what I made with the 6 x 4mm LGD I bought from you and they are great:

I brought the paved drops with me for the dress rehearsal when I went to collect the top I had made for the banquette last weekend, and they were too small against my South Sea Peral necklace of 11 to 13mm.



I wish I had my Aqua and Petalite drops then, good job I have a pair of bigger huggie earrings that I could wear!

I've said it before, and will say it again—your huggies are my idea of perfection for danglies, and for just wearing as-is. I've looked at soooo many huggies, and never yet found anything like yours that are ready-made.

Love how all your danglies look great with the huggies. Perfection!

I had been looking for a pair of suitable small huggies for years, and found them in one of the many stalls in LA's Diamond District.

I just knew they were the ones when I saw them. They are 0.37cttw, too small to wear on their own for me personally.

I personally love the Jude Frances Huggies, and have had many earring charms made to fit them. They are sold at Neiman-Marcus, and I have bought them from The Real Real too.
