I thought I’d take my chances with Amazon and sample a few vendors for less expensive stud earrings. All of these options were returnable at the time I ordered. They’re different styles: 6 prong basket, 6 prong throne, martini bezel flats, martini. I will be reordering two of these but backing down to 1 ct each side. I really didn’t consider how big (or small) my earlobes are. I hope you enjoy!
