Morning folks....

...Well, I have lost enough of my current inventory of .925 silver stud earrings that I've decided to consider diamond huggies instead of buying yet another 10 pairs of earrings. Figure if I get earrings I will wear every day, they will eventually pay for themselves instead of the revolving door I have now (plus, I travel all the time for work, so it would be easier just to have 1 pair and switch out my necklace daily).

I am a very simple, non-blingy kinda gal as it relates to diamonds (I love chunky, Taxco sterling silver necklaces...like attached). I've looked through a bunch of great posts on this site and tried on some hoop earrings that I have...and I know that I want to stay less than 18mm (dime sized) for my earrings..and I like super lightweight earrings as I'm no longer a young puppy and my earring holes have some slight elongation (which drives me bonkers). And, because I just splurged on a diamond watch, I am going to go inexpensive now (trying to stay under $500) and maybe a few months (or a year) down the line, will get some nice 2 carat studs or 1.5 carat hoops (or both :wink2: ).

So, thanks to everyone here I have 3 really amazing companies, Whiteflash, IDJ and Brian Gavin David (BGD) that I've sent out requests to....and am anxiously awaiting their replies :whistle:

Will keep this thread updated, but was so excited that I thought I would start a 'I've started the journey' post :dance:

April, thanks for the link. I swear I spent all day yesterday researching on this site..but I missed your thread :wall: Did you happen to take pictures before you sent them back? Would love to see them...even you have to send them offline (I can PM you my personal email)...just let me know.

And I'm not married to $500, but I don't want to spend a ton for my 'casual hoops' only to turn around in 6 months for bigger hoops. I don't think I would wear 1.5s or 2.0s everyday...just not my style. And I don't like on WF's smallest hoops that you can see metal at the bottom of the front loops (though that '3 size' comparison was incredibly helpful)

Thanks...and please keep any additional suggestions coming!
