Show Me Your Diamond Studs!

[bunnycat]

Angietime- you have a lucky mom!

Andelain- I love the new bling you've got! SO pretty! And LOVE the drops!

Kat- I think bezeled studs are my favorites!

I've jumped on the stud bandwagon in the last few months. I had 2 little OEC's that had been sitting around and finally got them set in some old fashioned yellow gold buttercup studs.

Before: .41ctw of OEC


After: Sweet petite-



Earshot:



And with a pair of clover shaped studs also new (to me).

This thread was so helpful when I started looking for studs. Kat and Andelain, I love your bezels and drops!

I was able to get these second hand a while back, courtesy of D&T. Thank you!!! .50ctw, 5.18mm including the bezel, G-H, VS & SI, 18k, and I loooove them.

Sorry I don't have a better photo. I am unclear of the specs on these, as they were last year's Christmas gift from my SO. They have a larger center stone and then 8 smaller stones circulating them, giving them almost the appearance of jackets.

From your picture, it looks like the halo gives your earrings the appearance of HUGE! Beautiful!

I now have my own pair to add to this thread! The stones are .464 and .466 (5mm) BGD signature rounds, the settings are platinum 4-prong baskets from IDJ. I love them!

 

[bunnycat]

those are yummy Alene! I really do love claw prongs!

Here are my princess(es)
0.5ct E SI and 0.52ct E SI.

Originally, i had the concern about the "claws" of the basket that the princess was sitting in, but once i had them in my ear, i soon forgot about them

I'd like to thank the PS community for the valuable information and support shared through this site. I first found my way here when I was trying to learn about the diamonds in my engagement ring and soon I got totally hooked. So after a year of self-education, I decided to celebrate my 30th birthday by giving myself a gift that would have lasting value This thread was a wonderful aid for comparing styles etc. So, to thank the previous posters I wish to show my gift - perhaps my pics will in turn help someone else <3

To mark my 30th birthday, I gave myself these .30 studs:



The other one is GIA .30 I SI2 XXX and the other AGS .30 I SI2 000. They came from Bluenile and I chose the babies myself from the inventory. I was certain I wanted the cut and symmetry to be as good as possible and I also used the GIA AGS proportion table pdf as a guide. In my experience AGS graded diamonds are relatively rare in BN and I did not initially look for one, but this one was there when I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and place the order. I was curious, just wanted to see if there would be any difference. Well, of course I can't tell any nor can I say which one is which without using a loupe and looking for the small crystal inclusion in the AGS one. Both perform just wonderfully. I also think I got the size right in proportion to my earlobes. Although my SO commented "Well they could be bigger.." - I took that as a promise!! (Please excuse the wrinkly blouse, I took this picture for another purpose.. )



And here's another close-up, on a sugary bed:



The only problem is that soon its my 31st bday and I kinda think it would be a good excuse for another sparkling gift!

I love these settings I never knew you could get an 8 prong martini setting. These settings are now on the top of my list for earring now. These are just stunning!!!

Wow! I just love your studs... I love the Old European cuts. Gorgoues!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Wow, all of these 2+ctw pairs are really tempting me!!!!

But here are my new .80 each (1.61tcw) studs from WhiteFlash! Second picture shows a .80 (6mm) next to a .65 (5.6mm) on the right.

 

[bunnycat]

love the new studs DS and the 8 prong settings on the others!

 

[innerkitten]

Nice pics! Studs are so classic. I actually turned mine into side stones for a ring. Now I sort of with I had another pair because you can do a lot with them and they're a good basic.
Someday.
