Yellow Jackets of the blingy variety . . .

[LaurenThePartier]

My parents live in Reno and come to Dallas to visit my sister and me and our families about every 6 months or so. On my Mom's trip last year, she arrived home only to find that one of her diamond studs was missing, but the back was still in her ear. She felt horrible about losing it because my Father bought them for her, and he doesn't buy her jewelry quite as often as I'm sure she would like. Because she was so sad to have lost that diamond, on her last trip out in October, we replaced that diamond and had both set into yellow gold 4 prong basket settings with a screw back.

Her 60th birthday was last week, and I'm working on another project for her, but it's going to take a little while longer because I don't have the design fully worked out yet. So, in a moment of panic, I realized I needed something to give to her this year. Thankfully, Whiteflash's yellow gold and yellow diamond jackets were in stock and able to be shipped next day to me. I hadn't seen many around here yet, and quite honestly, I'm thinking of picking up a pair to go with my white gold studs. I just love the look the bit of elegance these add to a pair of classic diamonds.

I have to really thank Whiteflash for getting these jackets to me in time for my Mom's birthday this past week. Renee and team have gone completely above and beyond, and my Mom just loves the fact that they're yellow diamonds!!!

Here is WF's pic of the jackets.

[diamondringlover]

Wow those are beautiful

 

[jaysonsmom]

Love them! What is the carat size of the her diamond studs? I find the proportions absolutely stunning!

 

[gemgirl]

Oh I love them, and they look absolutely gorgeous on your Mom''s lobes. What a great gift! You''re such a beautiful daughter!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Diamondrnglover - Thank you!

Jaysonsmom - I should have added that in the first post - her studs are about 1.1 tcw, but they''re cut a hair deep so they face up at ~5.2 mm each. I quite like the proportions, too - these are made to fit .50 ct. stones. I should have taken pics, but I tried putting my Tsavorite studs in them and with that medium dark green, they looked absolutely delicious with them!

Gemgirl - Thank you, my friend. She felt so "fancy-schmancy" with them on for dinner on her birthday. It was adorable. I really hope you''re feeling better, by the way, hun.

I can''t wait to share with you all what I''m working on for her next, but it''s going to be a while in the works . . .

Lauren, it''s so obvious how much you care for your mom, and I love these yellow diamond jackets you treated her with. Honestly, the WF photos do not show the intensity of the yellow the way yours do - I was all, "okay, they''re nice" for the first WF shot, but the next few just took my breath away! I know she will enjoy them immensely, and I can''t wait to see what you have planned for her next.

 

[BoulderGal]

Those are gorgeous! I never would have thought of the yellow/white combination. Your mom is one lucky lady!

 

[Clairitek]
