Interesting stone setting.

Look at these earrings. The center stone has no prongs holding it in place. The center stone is being held there by the surrounding stones. I have never seen this kind of setting. I found these studs in the new Lustro Stella CZ collection on ShopLC. There are some very beautiful pieces in that collection. The prices are so low!

The style reminds me of some designer ones in diamonds that I saw in a shop in the Caribbean years ago. They look like the center stone is under the surrounding ones, and being held there. It’s similar to an invisible setting.

@SilleeMee, if my memory doesn't fail me, I think at Tifffany's we used to call that a tension setting. One hard blow on a hard surface and everything needs to be reset.

I believe it's called a tension setting when a stone is held in place by other stones. I saw that show, there was some gorgeous jewelry at favorable prices. I appreciated how they explained the grading of CZ's.

Yes, @Trinity11 . That's a tension setting. Never saw it quite like that though, with all round stones.

I think it is beautiful @SilleeMee . I wouldn't want it in a ring just based on practicality but in earrings, I wouldn't hesitate.

Looks like we have similar taste in earrings as they are very pretty...I ordered for my nieces and remembered one of the host saying it was a tension setting where the outer stones through pressure hold the center stones together/in place. After seeing your picture I realized I should have ordered a pair for myself.

@SilleeMee If you want to see some earrings in stones and diamonds with no prongs look for Pleve earrings. They are beautiful.

I watched the debut show and saw these. They are very pretty. I like the ring they have in the same style. The designs in this brand were very nice and extremely affordable. Their stones are 4A grade quality. JTV and the Q's are 3A. I ordered this ring because I wanted to see how it compares to Diamonique.

Nice! @Tsukiko . I've been looking at the collection on the website on and off all day. It's a good thing I don't wear rings! LOL! So many beautiful ones there, a girl could lose her mind. I like the Asscher cut studs, they have a halo design...sold out now. Might get the flower studs I posted. They are small and a believable carat weight.

@SilleeMee I'm looking forward to seeing more of this line. Can't beat the price and so many lovely pieces!

@Tsukiko

Please come back and let us know about that ring you picked. I would like to read about how much it sparkles!

Has anyone ordered from Shop LC? I just looked at their website and the prices are very low. I wonder about the quality as in you get what you pay for.

I have ordered plenty! Most everything I have gotten is good quality. I have been shopping there for quite some time. Only had to send one item back because it was damaged in shipping. You won't be disappointed! @SXMGirl

Tsukiko — Sat, 11 May 2019 01:46:43 GMT

@SXMGirl I've ordered a few pieces and have been very pleased. There have been a few pieces that I had to send back due to imperfections or defects but they refunded my money in about a weeks time and didn't charge me shipping costs. I'm quite happy with their service.

Shop LC participates in Ebates (3%) and usually have a coupon code on their home page. Shipping is $2.99 for all items and returns are processed quickly.

Not too long ago I was getting 6% from TopCashBack. But then it went down to 3%. There for a while I was making a killing with that 6%, especially when I bought so much stuff from them...!

I discovered TopCashBack only recently and will check it out. Thanks!

We’re. Not getting the same quality CZ stones here that we used to get. Different formula and composition of the CZs in the last three years. I’m wondering how nice and realistic Shop LC CZ are.
