Baroque Jewelmer Golden SSP from Cees

[JerseyPearl]

JP, I love those. Simple but very elegant. Where from?

Bella findings, pearls from Jac. I set them on Friday...and they haven't left my lobes since drying!

 

[GemGeek]

Those pearls are really lovely on your skin. Happy Birthday to YOU!

 

[JerseyPearl]

GemGeek, I like to celebrate my birthday each and every month of the year...although the actual date is in March (hence my LOVE of aqua).

And Happy Birthday Peal Dreams!!! Your neck looks great, goldens aside.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you, GemGeek!

I didn't pierce ears until I was 34 and have never worn heavy earrings, so my lobes/piercings aren't stretched out. I think my piercings are just higher up on the lobe than is true for many other ladies.

See the photo-- this will explain my problem. The leverback finding is 10mm from the inside of the bottom to the inside of the top. That is the space available for the ear lobe. I just had my husband measure my 2 ears, and on the right ear the piercing hole is 12mm from the bottom of my lobe, and 13mm on the left ear! I can get away with the earring on the right ear, but even so the lobe is a bit squished vertically. On the left ear it's too much of a difference.

I need a finding that has a greater vertical clearance. Or I can use a hook-type finding. (Not crazy about Blossom finding.)

Ah, that makes sense now, Pearl Dreams ...

I just measured my earrings pictured...they are 10.7mm from bottom of U to the bar. Maybe a hook would be a better option for your lobe. There are some wonderful designs out there beyond a simple ear wire, or the blossom (although that one is a personal favorite)

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Okay, so I had the loose pearls set as studs in the end.

I realized that I prefer my dangle pearls to be drops, or possibly larger round pearls, but not this size (measured at 10.8mm). But it's a perfect size for studs for my large lobes.

I find them very comfortable and plan to wear them a lot.

 

[GemGeek]

Amazing! Great choice. Love the color on you. ♡♡♡

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks GemGeek!

I used to think this size was too big for studs but it's remarkable how quickly one gets used to larger pearls.

 

[lisa c]

They turned out really well, didn't they? They look wonderful on you!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks, Lisa! The jeweler did a nice job.

 

[baby nurse]

Your strand and earrings are stunning on you! The color complements your skin tone perfectly.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks, baby nurse!

 

[Jacques]

Just saw this. Beautiful pearls - super nice quality - well done!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks Jacques! I'm happy with them.

 

[pattye]

Just amazing on you, Pearl Dreams! Be ready for the compliments!! (I sympathize with the ear piercing issues; I've got one shorter and thinner which got badly torn.)

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks, Pattye-- but ouch, torn?

 

[Tucs]

Gorgeous, and just the perfect size for studs!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Very nice on you, not too large at all.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you! That's what I thought too, but the jeweler actually thought they would protrude too much sideways.

Which would explain why I didn't see any large pearl studs in his shop, I suppose, despite his having bead nuked FWP, huge flameballs and even baroque blue akoyas.
