Hello all,
This is the first time I'm posting a question on the forum. Not sure how to upload pictures, but I wanted to get my question out
I'm looking forward to having a pair of diamond hoop earrings for the first time. I'd like to be able to wear them in mostly casual settings, either by themselves or with gemstone drops, which don't exist yet ( I'm also going to post questions in Colored Stones)
After looking at Whiteflash, and several B+ M stores , I haven't hit on the right combo of stone size , setting, and length from top to bottom. Hope you can help
1. I'd like inside/outside style, with hoops about 1" from top to bottom . What size stones in that configuration would give the earrings some width -- most of the ones I've seen are so very thin from the front and don't look right on my "chubby" earlobes.
2. Shared prong settings -- 've been told that shared prong is better since it shows each stone clearly, but the setting just doesn't look right to me. I prefer a wash of sparkle .Most places only show shared prong. Any other suggestions?
3. What quality stones will get me really good sparkle but will stay w/in budget of ~ $3K.
4. What vendors should I check out for hoops .
Thanks so much for your help
