These stones are set into a traditional basket setting, hanging from a Sterling Silver leverback earring. 

Please notice the thickness of the silver in the mounting.  These are substantial, without being weighty.  I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!

This is a good stable setting that won't set you back a month just to get a pair. There's no reason why this stone shouldn't last you for years, and dazzle every day of it.
