Winter''s coming... *needed* new ear warming studs! (1.47 tcw)

[Lynn B]

Well, those new bad boys are HEERE... and MY, they are handsome fellows!

They are an upgrade from my .89 tcw (one .44 and one .45) pair of studs.

In case anyone missed it, here''s the first thread (back when these guys were still just a gleam in my eye!)

Seriously, the finished studs came today and OH! I LOVE them! The diamonds are amazing... they are like two little twin disco balls!

For the numbers nerds (myself included!) -- here are the stats:

Stone #1:
AGS-0
.740
K/SI1
5.78 x 5.81 x 3.58
T: 55.6
C: 34.7
P: 40.7
Depth: 61.7

Stone #2:
AGS-0
.733
K/SI1
5.78 x 5.80 x 3.56
T: 55.5
C: 34.7
P: 40.6
Depth: 61.6

I''m tellin'' you, these guys are TWINS!

The settings are 14K WG 3-prong martini... still my favorite "minimalist" look.

Photos coming... stay tuned!

 

[Lynn B]

Here they are just hangin'' out!

Gosh, I adore these "K" stones! They are SO white (no yellow AT ALL!) and so lively. And oh, did I mention totally eyeclean?!

 

[Lynn B]

Here''s ONE of ''em... but honestly I don''t know *which one*!

You make me sick.

I totally love them.

Where the heck are the ear shots? Huh huh? New diamond earring girl? Huh?

LOL!

OF COURSE I have ear shots... you think I'd dare come around these parts WITHOUT them??!!

I KNOW better! You guy's would have me tarred and feathered!

OK... here ya' go...
Ear shot #1:

ETA: OH WHOA BABEEE, that's ONE BIG EAR!

Sorry!!! (You would think I was a noobie though... obviously still size-clueless when posting pictures!)

 

[Lynn B]

Another ear shot. Please lord, don''t let it turn out so big!

 

[KristyDarling]

Talk about FIRE!

They are gorgeous!

 

[Lynn B]

Another...

ETA: I don't think ears were made to be magnified like this!!!

It's a little... unnerving!!!

Oh, I don''t know about "unnerving"...just a little "ear-ie". Hehehe. Bad pun, sorry.

I love these Lynn...I am jealous. Now that I''ve settled down with my husband, I find myself thinking I could use some STUDS in my life!

 

[Lynn B]

Awww, you''se guys are DA BEST!
Thanks for all the sweet words! xoxoxoxo!

Here''s another comparison shot of the .74 beside the .45 (or maybe it''s the .44... who knows?! Those inscriptions are bloody hard to READ!!!!)

 

[Lynn B]

And here''s a fun shot, I thought...
The .74 next to the .45 next to a sassy little .17 I have (I fondly refer to him as "Baby Bling"!)...

 

[sevens one]

You kept the old ones? You have multiple studs in your stable? I''m jealous! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

 

[Lynn B]

And this is the last picture I have for now... this is a picture of the OLD STUD in the ear.

I think (HOPE!) there''s a pretty noticeable visual size difference between the old studs and the new ones... but I''m tellin'' you guys, I am sicksicksick, because the new ones have already started to shrink, and it hasn''t even been 12 hours yet!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Lynn, I have to laugh because I seem to remember your previous efforts of posting large photos!

The new studs are gorgeous and a much better size to go with your beautiful ring!

Oh no, TG... I WISH!!! I gotta send the old ones back (well, if I want any $$$ off the new ones, that is!!!)

Although actually, I *THINK* I might keep one of the old ones... I have 2 holes in one ear and I often wear fun dangly earrings (usually french hook style, and often made by me!) in the first hole... and a diamond stud looks cute in the 2nd hole... but honestly, the new studs just look a little too *big* for the 2nd hole... so for those days, I thought one old stud would be cute in the second hole. Did you get all that???!

(And yes, of course there's always Baby Bling, and yes, he's totally adorable in the 2nd hole, but YIKES, he's darn near invisible!!!

...)

 

[Skippy123]

Holy Smokers those will keep your ears super toasty!!!! Gorgeous

Now that is some ear coverage

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Hey, Lynn, would you please post the best ear shot and one with the three sizes of stones on the ear stud thread, please?

Haha, I know, DS, I was remembering that same thing, too!
I am a photo-shop/picture posting IDIOT! OY!!!

And thanks for the compliment on my ring. I'm thinking you're right about these earring stones' size "complementing" it more. BUT honestly, these new studs MAY just HAVE to be stepping stones to 2ctw eventually... because apparently I am sicksicksick and I can't seem to HELP MYSELF!!!!

 

[dani13]

GORGEOUS, Lynn!!!! You must be THRILLED!!! Enjoy them!!!!

 

[Catmom]

WOW! There''s no way your ears are going to get cold with those babies on. They''re simply gorgeous!!!! Congrats.

*Done!*

[iheartscience]

They''re GORGEOUS! And sooooo HUGE! Wow wow wow! What a size difference! I can barely see your earlobe around all that bling!

And oh my God, I didn''t even notice until just now...my ears are FREEZING in their lil'' .61 ctw earrings! Brrr!
