I voted for the bezel studs, because they'll look bigger and give you more bang for your buck ... but if you bezeled the sapphires and they were light/bright, I'd have a harder time making the decision.
I like to wear my diamond cocktail rings the most. i always wear my diamond rings. Sometimes like in the party i like to wear animal shaped cocktail rings the most.
Gorgeous sapphire - no doubt about it - but I'm still going to stick with my diamond vote!! Something about the classic diamond stud that just tugs at me!!
What color is your hair? Because I'd say blue sapphires on anyone with medium-to-dark hair are gonna get lost more. For me, I wouldn't really want sapphire prong set studs period - even though it's my birthstone! And I *have* bezel set old-cut diamonds in about that size & adore them.
I voted diamonds. I don't really like the color blue, so there's that. But diamonds are much more likely to actually work for daily wear--they match everything!
I love sapphires and, in most situations, I would pick them, hands down. However, I do think a diamond stud is a classic staple. Also, as mentioned, a nice sapphire wouldn't show up with my dark hair, while a diamond looks great.
I LOVE sapphires but I chose the bezeled studs. They'd go with everything else you wore, whereas I'd think you'd be a bit more limited wearing sapphire earrings.
