What did you do with your old diamond studs?

[reader]

I see posts of people upgrading their diamond studs, but no one that I have seen mentions what they do with their old ones...
So, what have you done with your old studs?

Hopefully, they got their studs through a vendor w/ a lifetime trade-up policy!

Well my first pair was bought locally, they ripped me off and the jeweler is dead. No upgrading there.

But I''m trying to sell them on my own, which I''ll probably have no luck. Might give them to a niece.

I''m now with a company who has a great upgrade policy.

I gave them to my daughter, she''s 18 and loves them.

if I ever get newer ones I''ll give these to my daughter... and if I don''t, I guess I''ll leave them for a granddaughter if I have one!

I still have mine.

I still have my original ones too..... .5TCW from a mall jeweler. I got .7TCW from Whiteflash about 2 years ago. They''re not much bigger but the sparkle difference was amazing. My plan has been to use the original diamonds to make some sort of dangle earring jacket like these below. So far, I haven''t gotten it done, but that''s what I''m thinking....

These are from another PS member...can''t remember who but I loved the idea.

Oh I really like that. What is the center stone?

Of course if the studs really don''t sparkle I''d try to sell them rather than reset them.
