Because it's fall...

[JerseyPearl]

These pearls are such pretty colors for fall...I am so tempted to make them into a pair of earrings.View attachment 46330

Does anyone know of a source for a double stud pearl mounting?
ETA the pearls are around 10.5mm each. Greens are Tahitian, golds are SSP.

 

[Bailey1856]

They are perfect together JP. What style are you thinking? Where are they from?

 

[JerseyPearl]

The are from my stash of leftovers I'd like to do a double stud where one sits on the lobe, the other slightly below the lobe.

 

[BWeaves]

You guys are killing me with your Tahitians. Gorgeous.

Did you want these to be reversible? Or will one always be in the front? I have no idea where you get the findings, just curious.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

They are beautiful! I've been hunting around online but have not found any mountings yet.

I'll just post some links as I find things - not sure of the style but something might inspire you to have it made up in some fashion. Those are gorgeous pearls...the GSS .... stunners!
This photo is one look that might work. or the link to the finding at Stuller. I was surprised they didn't have more than one finding for two pearls.

You could set one pair as studs and the other on one of the butterfly (nut) findings which swing a pearl below the lobe from behind - that way they can go on lots of pearls. There are fixed ones with a cup and post or you can fix with ring/chain and pendant cap to a big butterfly

These are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing what you make!

Gorgeous pearls, JP. Looking forward to the end result

Wow, those would make gorgeous double studs! I bet you could buy two non-attached stud settings, remove the earring bit from one and have a jeweler solder them together with a connecting piece of metal. If you did it in silver it would be pretty cheap for a custom-ish setting.

Side question: I've been wanting to get access to Stuller for a long time. I'm registered as a sole proprietorship (mainly for my photography, but I still have my etsy shop selling jewelery as well), is that enough to register with them?

Hi JP, I looked for such settings for my mismatched earrings but didn't find anything I like so I went the custom route. Recall that etsy had some settings and just looked them up:

Thanks everyone! This is all very helpful!

Maybe A tiny 2 hole gold "bead" spacer bar can be modified




(Not my image)

I've done something like that in the past. I believe the bar helps keep the earrings from tipping backwards.

You guys are the best.

 

[pattye]

Fun project and awesome pearls! Must admit I like a dangle to have a bit of movement ~ maybe a short length of chain? Could attach to the post on various studs.

 

[MSC]

That's a great idea, BPDDC!

You could even create 2 pairs of studs and use the separator bar to convert into a twin earring (if you don't mind that the bottom earring post sticking out the back).

might this work?

Cookson are a fabulous UK company (they deliver to the US), and have these new attachments for studs, only in silver at the moment:
