Puppy, it's .08 carats, which is going to be very, very small. The pictures on Tiffany's website are really deceptive - I've been surprised at how small things look at the store after seeing them on the site. The saleswoman told me that she loves to see the looks on people's faces when they come in to see the diamond stud earrings that they've seen on the site at such-and-such price because they are just specks, almost not enough to keep the earring from sliding through the wearer's hole. You said you want something delicate, but you may want to see this in person before purchasing, although they do take returns.
