I''m planning on taking out my sidestones from my mangled wrap and having them set as earrings. They''re each .25 carat, G color and either VS or VVS (I don''t rembember). They''re pretty nice stones, but smallish, so I want to make sure to find a setting that suits them well. I have some other small stones that could maybe be incorporated too (2 .25 each sapphires and 2 .10 each diamonds). The sapphires are smaller looking that the diamonds of the same weight due to the different density. I''m just not sure where to start looking. TIA!
 
I really think for earring settings you should go to a local jeweler. It''s really not worth the shipping back and forth to have earrings set at a distant vendor, unless you''re having someone like Leon Mege making custom settings. Any local jeweler has catalogs of settings just like the vendors here have.
 
You could go to a local jewelry store and ask if they have any suggestions...I would suggest either asking if they have a Stuller findings or mountings book, or you can look at what they already have mounted up and see it your stones could be mounted similarly. Many chain stores offer trade ups. If you are not attached to that piece see what they can give you as a trade in on another piece.

I agree. also check out pearlmans website for a ton of pics of designer earrings. might give you and idea of a direction you''d like to go.
