@Phoenix what a delightful dilemma!
@kama_s’s and @loveprettylittlethings’s bracelets are such showstoppers in photos - I can only imagine what they must look like in-person!!
I do love the idea of a substantial tennis bracelet! I have to wonder, though... IIRC your all-diamond bracelet collection includes your Cartier pave bangle, your VCA Perlee bangle, your double-halo station bracelet, and your IDJ reset tennis bracelet... does your rotation have use for another “staple” tennis bracelet?
OTOH I don’t recall you ever posting about hoops before. So... What’s your current hoop collection like? I’m intrigued by this idea - I’ve been wanting a large eternity band with 45-50pointers, and if I find that I don’t wear my current eternity with 20pt stones much afterward my plan is to have them reset into hoops. That said, your stones are over twice the weight of mine!! And you already know that overly-heavy earrings will bother your ears, so IMO you’re very right to be proactive about making sure weight won’t be an issue.
If you do go the earrings route... Sheerah is my WF rep as well, and she really is as wonderful as @m-2-b says! She’s helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and always very responsive - and Vera is a darling you’re in wonderful hands with them!
And Erika Winters really is a dream to work with she’s a bit different though: she’s a visionary, and it’s important to her that all pieces she designs fit her style. If you like the look and feel of her portfolio I definitely recommend reaching out to get her thoughts and I’d be happy to send her an email if that’d be helpful.
All that said. @Phoenix, if I had to name one PSer who embodies Leon Mege’s style, it’d be you. I know that he’s unpopular on PS, but I have had excellent experiences working with him and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again, and in my most honest, most persnickety opinion - for modern style, bold minimalism, and aesthetically-measured use of pave... with the exception of one or two very specific designs Leon’s eye for fluidity, curve, and dimension is simply unparalleled. He is could certainly do earrings or a bracelet justice.
