I realized I should have taken a pic of my old earrings before sending them in (oops), but I am happy to show off these lovelies which just arrived. I traded in my old 1 ct tw (.5 ct each) diamond studs for a little over 1.7 ct tw (.85 ct each). My originals were beautiful and felt right for every day size when I first got them, but after about 5 years of wearing them I was suffering from "shrinkage." 
I also had 3 prong martini setting which was stretching out my piercings a little.
I did a trade in through Whiteflash where I got my original earrings. I got back every penny I paid on the original diamonds to put towards the new ones. I also got a small materials credit for the platinum settings (they can't re-sell the used settings so you just get basically melt-down value). I wanted a new setting that would still sit close to the ears like a martini setting but that would not have the pointy end that would stretch my piercings. I found their W setting, and since I did not like the claw prongs they made them with rounded prongs for me at no extra charge. I once again chose platinum to be hypoallergenic and also to not have to worry about yellowing over time. The diamonds are WF's "A Cut Above" super ideals and sparkle like crazy.
Excuse the messy hair in my pics--It was hot & humid when I went to pick them up.
