I have them set as stud earrings and while I do love them, I've had an itch over the last year to go bigger and haven't found a matched pair with BGD recently to be able to use their upgrade policy.

They are currently set in 4-prong platinum baskets with La Pousette backs, but I did have the posts shortened so they would sit better in my ears. The basket settings and shortening of the posts was done at a local (to me) jeweler Continental Diamond in St Louis Park, MN https://www.continentaldiamond.com/ (also a CBI retailer). The posts are approx. 8mm long with the notches for the backs at about 5.2mm and 6.8mm.
- The current basket settings are #24348 from Stuller and they use a 95% platinum alloy with cobalt
- I asked for the diamonds to be set low in the baskets; martinis on me kept drooping so the whole point of the baskets was to get something that would sit flush and not protrude too far. The diamonds have a depth of about 3.1mm and total height from the bottom of the basket to the top of the table is approx. 4.35mm (this might be a bit off as it was tough to get this measurement working around the earring post).
- The backs are La Pousette / Protektor® style locking backs.
Closest comps I can find are a bit smaller, but range from $1300-1600 each (anything larger I found was 0.5ct or more and there is quite the price hike at that 0.5ct mark).

So asking price is about 25% off retail based on diamond pricing alone with no value given to the settings.
Price includes PP fees and shipping/insurance. US buyers only please and no returns as I am a private seller. Thank you!
