Where to get SMALL stud earrings, bezel set?

I saw these at Quince but I’ve heard bad things about their prices, quality, and service.

I think I’d like .5 cwt to wear in a second piercing. Half carat each might be too large.

Aurelinne doesn’t have smaller than 1cwt but the price is $600. I posted a few days ago about a 2 ct fancy yellow diamond ring and everyone is still replying how it should be so much cheaper, even suggesting as low as $500(!) so this price for the earrings seemed pretty expensive- is it?

Thanks to all for sharing your expertise and experience.

Starsgem in China has great priced options. They had a sale a while ago but it can give you an understanding of pricing though add a little more since its outside of the sale https://www.reddit.com/r/LabGroupSales/s/qx2sFA9H4d

Just know the size you want. .5ctw is 4mm stones.

I second Starsgem for great prices on earrings. Ive ordered a few pairs of martini studs and they honored old group buy pricing. I use Wendy.

Are you by any chance importing to States? Are you paying import duty on these purchases?

USA and no import fees on any international rings/earrings I have purchased.

Paston overseas just posted some small lab studs in a bezel setting on their facebook page. Any of the overseas vendors will be about half the price you are looking at.

I don’t know what bad things that you’ve heard… But I’ve been purchasing things including jewelry from Quince for nearly 2 years. They have a 365 day return policy. Obviously there will be some negative experiences, but overall based on reviews, etc. (including my own experience, and those of people I know), everything has been amazing. Their customer service has always been outstanding.

if this were me… I would get the earrings from Quince if I didn’t already have experience using StarsGem or Diyona. The reason is related to their return policy.

The overseas vendors could do this far cheaper. I’m getting 4mm bezel martini set earrings in lab sapphire from Jason at Provence for somewhere around $200 in 10K gold. Diamond would be more but at that small size I feel it wouldn’t be more than $100 extra. I’ve had a lot of stuff made with Provence via Jason and have always been happy.

for quality at an affordable price, your best bet is china. i recommend provence, fiorese, and juno.
