I have a pair of much-loved OEC studs which I posted about many years ago (circa 2010). At the time I loved the settings but they weren't super comfortable. Despite this I wore them without pause for a decade
It's finally time to reset them into something more comfortable for my ears/holes. I have sent them to David Klass, who is patiently churning out CADs for me and answering my million questions.
I am tossing up between the CADs below. I am also considering a 6-prong version of the 8-prong tulip setting. Top-down it would look like the solitaire in the photo attached.
They are just a tick over 6mm, 0.91 and 0.95ct, faint/light brown. Planning to set in YG or (hopefully) a red gold/coppery/not-pink RG.
I would love opinions! Which setting would you choose, and why?
A - 6 prong crown (similar to the original setting)?
B - 8 prong tulip?
C - 6 prong tulip?
(If anyone is thinking "D - none of the above, do a bezel" - I already have bezel milgrain RB studs!)
Option A:
Option B:
Option C:
