Hi,
I had amazing advice from the experts here with larger size studs, and now I’m looking for a smaller pair. Do you see any sparkly pairs in the 1.3-1.5 ctw range? Price is flexible.
Thank you!!
 
Where did you buy your earlier larger studs? Did you ever end up buying from Alex Park? Do you have a preferred vendor? Have you had any luck on the LooseGrown site?

I’m sure you’ll get the pair you like. Too bad the other ones didn’t work out. Did they droop? Were they just uncomfortable? Sorry for all the questions!
 
I bought on Ritani and had set from my local jeweler. They were gorgeous! I tried chrysmela backs, jumbo backs, and bigger/wider settings. In the end I just felt they were too large for my lobe. My piercing has sort of dropped down, and the actual stones felt like they took up too much of my ear. The jumbo back supported them so no droop, so I would get those again on smaller studs.
I haven’t tried Alex parks but I do watch the IG listings.
 
Oh, I thought they looked lovely on your ears. But I understand. We have to feel comfortable - like we're wearing the jewelry, and not the other way around.

Maybe @Kim N or @DejaWiz can help?

If you do a search and pull up some options, it might give the experts something to start with. Here's that handy search tool that @Kim N posted. Then she narrows it by CA 34-35 and PA 40.6-40.9.

However, LooseGrownDiamond has some amazing prices, so definite take a peek there, too.
 
What a nice comment - thank you!
 
I've found you a beautiful 1.4ctw E pair for under $675. Let me know when you're online and ready to put them on hold or buy.
 
I’m online! Will check back in a few!

@lucythedog i have someone who is interested in buying some loose stones from me. They are too small for you, but I am thrilled you have found the right size for you. The potential buyer asked about setting cost. I have no idea. May I ask if you just had them set in a standard setting, not custom, how much the cost was. Thank you so much. If you aren't comfortable sharing that information, I understand. Enjoy your new earrings!
 
standard setting was $195!

You're welcome! Glad you got them, and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the size after they arrive.
