Yup, they look like the same as the ones I have.

Hope you like them in the CAD.

Screenshot from the video of the Moissy earrings from Vijay, they look very sparkly to me, no doubt helped by the sun!

My two pairs of earrings have arrived, and I made the mistake in recalling I ordered a pair of 7-stone cluster studs in Moissys when I had actually ordered a pair in lab diamonds, result!

Here they are, combined in the same box by me:



Added the pair of 5-stone flower studs that I already have:



Ear shots of the new ones:





They are very sparkly, and they sit nicely on my big fat earlobes, highly recommended!

They all look gorgeous! So sparkly and they look very substantial too. Are the settings quite robust because I’m naughty and sleep with my studs in?

Indeed they are.

I tried to put the 7-stone studs in my large earring jackets to see if they would fit, and the posts were to large and would not fit!

Be warned that the posts are quite long and the backs are big and pointy, compared to other earrings I have, and they will not be comfortable to wear to bed, not for me for certain.

They're all so pretty! How will you choose which ones to wear??!! I'm especially partial to the flower one... but must resist, for now

 

[Sparkles88]

I’m so excited Lightbox is finally shipping to Australia! Woohooooo!
Edit: also ships to HK, NZ and Singapore!

The 7-stone ones are great when I would like a bit more bling. The other two pairs are more for casual wear I guess.

No.... really??!! I’m going looking!

@dk168 Vijay sent me a video of my ear rings, can you take a look, they look great to me. Here’s a screen shot.
I’ll pay express shipping so hopefully they arrive in time for Christmas!

They look good to me, fingers crossed they will arrive in time for Christmas.

My Ouros ear rings have arrived, just in time for Christmas! Shipping was fast, the hold up was with the local courier. I was anxiously waiting for delivery after my parcel was on hold for 48 hours. As they were bumping it in favour of delivering orders that were due earlier than mine.
Here they are, dainty but enough presence for every day wear.
Different lighting to show what they look like.
Ear shots are so tricky but hope it helps anyone else considering buying them.
I really like them, my only critique is I’m not sure if the posts are long enough, I would prefer them a tad longer. Perhaps I might have more meaty lobes than usual . I have to push the backs in firmly to secure them with only a tiny part of the post protruding, so I hope it’s enough to make them secure so I don’t lose them.
I could have opted to change length but opted for standard because I haven’t had to worry about this before.

After receiving the CAD from the vendor for the OEC drops, I have decided to can this project with this vendor, and requested for refund minus the CAD fee.

I shall then place a new order for a pair of 6mm OEC Moissy with the same vendor instead, for them to be set by the bench I use in China.

There are a number of issues with the CAD, and I am not going down the route of ping pong messaging again to try and rectify the issues, as it will be very tiresome, based on previous experience.

I shall post the CAD later once my request has been acknowledged and actioned.

Hi dk168 - fellow UK resident here. Would you mind sharing the details of your bench in China? I have ordered from Ouros and Fiorese Gems before - but always on the lookout for more MMD vendors

Another pair of Lab/MMD earrings jumped at me, and I needed a pick me up, so here are my latest pair from Ouros:

My Lab/MMD earrings family to date:



The latest pair is the biggest in diameter and very glamourous, and I love them.

I love all of them! The smaller two pairs are more casual and they may stay in my campervan as part of my camping bling wardrobe (very minimal as I don't even bother with styling my hair and wear an Alice band instead); and the larger two pairs for when I go out and about in town etc...

Waiting for the 6 x 4mm stones from @Dandi to arrive, as they are most likely to end up being yet another pair of stud earrings!

DK your earrings are all so lovely. I don’t suppose you’ve had any issues with the posts from Ouros being too thick? Or anyone else here? I ordered a little pair of martini studs for my second piercings - they are painfully thick (for my second piercings, at least). I measured them at .97mm. Vijay said his production team said sorry but they can’t remake them any thinner or the diamond will fall. I told him I have stock martini settings with larger diamonds and the posts are.75mm … hoping he will have a solution but it’s been days since he said he’d speak to them again and get back to me… doesn’t seem promising so far.

 

[dk168]

@e2the3rd I have 4 pairs of lab/MMD earrings from Ouros now, and their posts are all different in terms of thickness and length, no joke!

Luckily none of them are too thick for my ears.
