Presenting: Mela''s (unlikely) 0.66tcw - 3 prong Martini Studs!!!

[mela lu]

In an unexpected turn of event, I''ve decided to throw away my ‘chunky’ reservations and JUST GO FOT IT!

Presenting the WF photo of my new 3-Prong studs!

I just want to thank you girls for helping me ‘talk it out’. After realizing that paying the money for the bezels were simply out of the question, I decided to go for a classic. If I do decide to change the setting or upgrade, there will be no love (or little money) lost.

So – thank you:
Tgal, skippy, MC, chrono, clio, Ebree, Mara, decodelighted, Ellen, alj, Flygirl, lynn and Snlee.

And without further adieu:

Congrats on new studs!!!

 

[MoonWater]

Ooh I can''t wait to see pictures! I want the same exact thing (except .30 but .03 isn''t much of a difference).

 

[Maisie]

Can''t wait to see pics!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mara]

you''ll love them! my pair is .38 each in 3 prong, great for everyday.

 

[TravelingGal]

Yay! How exciting!

Man, WF is prompt! Bob said if I did martini (I talked to him last Sat when he called), they''d be in my hands by this Friday. But I''m bezeling, so I don''t know when mine will be done.

Where are those pics??!??

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

No rest for WF! Congrats on the new earrings!

cheers--Sharon

 

[mela lu]

I KNOW!!! I cant seem to upload the pic from WF. I''ve tried everything!!!!

Either way - I''ll take lots when they come!

 

[TravelingGal]

What kind of error message does it give you?

 

[mela lu]

the file name comes up as: undefined

 

[TravelingGal]

Have you tried renaming the file?

 

[mela lu]

I''ve seriously tried everything. I''m really savvy with graphic (photoshop etc) and cannot get this sucker to work!

 

[TravelingGal]

Wah.

 

[mela lu]

tying one more thing....

TAH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It worked!!!!!

PS. they are chunky. I feel it.

 

[TravelingGal]

Yay yay! What worked? So beautiful...can you post it bigger, or was the the original size of what they sent?

Well, they don''t look chunky to me.

But to throw a wrench in things...did you see these posted by ccuheartnurse today? Not sure how these would look on smaller stones, but it might be a setting you like for the future...

 

[mela lu]

This was the size they sent me....
two things I''m "noticing" right off the bat:
1) darkness in the stone on the right (probably the angle it was taken??)
2) Chunky setting

GASP. I''m in love!

oh no.

 

[TravelingGal]

I''m thinkin'' angle. You have 10 days to return if you don''t love em, right? I think I''m screwed on the bezels if I don''t like them, since they are custom.

oh no.

Sorry gally...saw them today and was going to post them on your thread, but then you posted this one.

 

[mela lu]

tee hee. no worries!! Like you said, if I dont like ''em..............REturn!

I chose the 3 prong knowing I may not LOVE them, but at least they would be wearable and classic until I did figure out what I wanted to do with them. It''ll be okay.

Those are gorgeous though. I love delicate settings. sigh. I doooooo indeed.

 

[Ellen]

They are not gonna be chunky, or dark.

Just dazzling dahling.

Well, the website said they are .30 ctw, but not sure if the pic is representative of that.

HA, TGal....I saw those very same settings this morning, too, and i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them! SO elegant and graceful.

 

[Fly Girl]

mela lu - Good choice. The setting is going to be just fine. You don''t want the post to be too thin (can bend) or too thick. Yours are going to be great!!

Waiting for ear shots.
