Thank You BGD! My First "Big Girl" Studs are here!

This year, Hubs promised I could get my first "big girl" studs. :cheeky: Really nice studs with a great cut and wonderful performance. Up to now, I had been wearing my sweet little OEC buttercup studs or my little "mutt" pair and while I will always have a "special affection" for my "mutts", I also knew I wanted something really classy looking! I already pretty much knew what I wanted style-wise (after endless trolling of the "show me you diamond studs" thread) and so it was just a matter of making a size selection with BGD and moving right along with it.

So, here they are!

Both are J SI1 (and easy combo for me to upgrade later) and are .68ctw. One is a little more "J" than the other one if I look close, but since they are on my ears it's no biggie. All I see is pretty sparkles and bright white in the mirror!

Specs are:

4.47x4.49mm and 4.48x4.53mm set in the 8 prong setting which I LURVE! :love: So if anyone out there is considering this setting, it's a REALLY comfortable setting with a bowl like shape so you don't have to worry about the tip of the basket digging in your ears. I requested pointed prongs if it could be done this small and so they did taper them and I think it looks quite nice!

Bad news is, with the second piercing being done so close to my original (I forgot to wear my studs when I went to have it done and it got placed closer than it probably should have been) I'm already pretty close to max size and still be able to wear both sets of earrings, but I'll cross that road some other day.

thank you stargurl! I think it was yours and Yssie's 8 prongs that inspired me to go for the 8 prong! :love:

A few more pics of something I do much better! Fire!

Beautiful, and awesome pics, too!

If you just got your second piercing, maybe just let the hole close and grow over? Get re-pierced in the right place in a few months? I once pierced my own ears, but higher up where the cartilage is. I forget now why I took the earrings out, but the holes completely grew over and I don't even remember where they used to be.

Thank you YT and GemFever!

GemFever- I did consider a redo, but I had some trouble with one of them getting a little infected and I know after having these for the last 6 weeks if I let it close, I probably wouldn't do it again, so I decided to "make do" and will work around it since they both seem to be healing properly now.

They're gorg! I love the size on your lobe and I love the 8 prong setting. Yours and stargurl's have definitely convinced me to go with the 8 prongs for my own BGD upgrade :)

Gorgeous!!! My studs are my favorite piece of jewelry. I hope yours bring you as much joy!

Maybe you could get a pair of jackets to wear when you want just one bigger look and leave the second piercings empty. And you could get some awesome shared prong huggies to wear in your first piercings and put these babies in your second holes when you really want to blind the world!

They look beautiful on you. Congrats on the new earrings and I'm beginning to like the eight prong settings more and more!

Be patient with your new pierces. I had to have one of my ears redone (finally) at 50 yrs. old because one hole had been way off my whole life and it drove me batty to wear nice earrings with uneven cock-eyed piercings. For some reason, having them done later in life when you're not a kid anymore can cause more problems/peskier healing time and definitely at least in my case, MORE pain! But it's worth it in the end. Hang in there!

lknvrb4- Thank you!

gemgirl- thank you! (And thank you for the advice on the piercings. That totally makes sense that things would become more problematic as one gets older....as in many things..... :knockout: )

Hi there! Just wanted to add my voice and say how fabulous your studs are. Like another poster has already said, your earrings, and Stargurl's have convinced me to order the 8 prong, also from BGD. I can't wait to get them. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us! So enabling!!!!!
