Not having someone else screw them up is worth it. And due to their valuation, you might have to pay them to use their FedEx account, unless you carry separate shipping insurance through your business, bec I think there's a valuation cutoff with USPS and you MUST insure these full value.

Looking spectacular as usual, Sky.
Thank you TinkI remember when you posted pictures. Your studs are breathtaking. I don't remember them facing to the side. I do hope you get them situated so that you're happy with them.
When I took the pic I posted, it was from an angle and I was holding my ear out so the diamond would show.
I didn't take a pic from the front view - no one wants to see that. LOL
Maybe AME is right...get the posts repaired by BG. A "good" jeweler should be able to fix the posts but I don't know if a warranty/trade-up with BG would be effected.Thank you Tink

Better safe than sorry. Angling the studs is so EASY but you need to do it in person to get the right fit.
Yes, I'm planning to send them back to Brian Gavin for the angling. The sales person talked me into 18kt mountings and I had really planned to purchase platinum. When I send the diamonds back I'm going to have them remounted in 3 prong martini platinum settings.
The problem with the angling will be they are in Houston and I'm on the AL Gulf Coast so it can't be done in person. I believe they will
need to be sharply angled on both studs.
Such gorgeous diamond earrings!!Gorgeous day...at the beach!

Van Cleef angles the posts just like this on some of their earrings. In particular, the perlee hoops.
Genius
The angling will have to be done in person, by a local jeweler, so you get the angle right. It's so easy...you should have no problem!
It's a great idea for them to do it with the Perlee Hoops. Hoops seem to always hang at an odd angle. So nice that VCA does it when the hoops are made.
I have a jeweler here I've worked with for 20+ years so that's no problem.
Yes!
You just have to remember which hoop goes with which ear otherwise you wind up looking kind of crazy...ha.
Exactly![emoji1]
That's what I'm trying to determine with having the post angled on my diamond studs, how will I tell the right from the left.
