"New" transitional cut diamond studs

[Upgradable]

Current buzz words in our politically correct lexicon these days are "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!" In honor of the second two concepts (who wants to reduce our blandishment of bling?) I''m sharing my recently completed transitional cut diamond stud earrings. The stones are recycled from old pieces, sourced from one of my favorite vendors, Diamond Delights in Houston, and reused by setting into 14k white gold martini settings. The stones are .34 and .36 carats, H color, SI clarity. The size is perfect for my small ears. I''m sorry to say that the pictures do not do these justice. I just love them!

Gorgeous! I love transitionals!
Can we get some ear shots?

 

[orbaya]

Very pretty! Where are the ear shots??

 

[Kaleigh]

They look great. Love recylcing projects. Have any ear shots for us?

 

[Upgradable]

Okay, here are some ear shots. Why are these always to hard to take?

I''m still pretty new to the board, but I really like those three-pronged settings, "martini" I guess you guys call it!

I love those earrings! They are fab on you!!

Are you in the Houston area? I noticed that one of your favorite vendors Diamond Delights is in Houston. I am going to be there on Saturday and would really love to be able to look at some OEC and OMC stones. Any other recommendations of places to check out? I hoping to maybe do a shopping trip if possible.

BTW we are doing a PS GTG on Friday night if you are in the Galleria area and want to join us!

Thanks, KT! But I''m an Okie and don''t think I can make it down that far. Diamond Delights specializes in recycling old stones. I deal with Michael over the net but it''s been a great experience. He gets fabulous vintage stones at great prices.
