If you like the idea of diamond stud earrings but not the cost, or you want something more unique, Alexis Russell has the answer. For USD $168, she offers rough cut diamonds set in 14k gold filled post settings. If nothing else, they are a fun, affordable conversation piece. And who really needs sparkle when you have size?

These are showing (as of this writing) as temporarily unavailable on the Giving Tree Jewelry web site but still part of the designer’s collection there.
