Considering the stud earrings for my wife, somewhere in the .5 to .6 total carat weight range, would love to see some modeling pics of the earrings in. I can't find them online anywhere!

This is what it looks like on the shortest length.. not exactly a choker but close to it. Personally I don't like to wear it like this. I want to get it extended but looks like I'll have to wait until we're out of lockdown.
Doesn't it have two lengths, jump rings, to set it at (normally one at around 16" and the other at 18") if I remember correctly? I don't recall as I had the SA put it on me and the pictures I posted had one longer length and one shorter.
My own personal opinion is that I don't believe this type of necklace looks good as a choker nor do I think it looks good at a longer length. I think it looks best at the length you have above, which is right at the center of your collarbones so that it is displayed at all times.
Yes, it has 2 lengths. The shortest one isn’t wearable IMO, it’s irritating to have it so close to the neck (my picture above). I like it on the longer setting, which is how I wear it when I do wear it. I wanted to extend it and add a 3rd jump ring so that I can have the original setting + the extension; just so that I can have options if I ever want to wear it longer. But personally I think it’s best worn at the longest of the original setting. I don’t know the exact measurements as I’m too lazy to go measure it.
My preference is rose gold > gold > white gold so I bought it in rose gold. But I think this necklace would look especially gorgeous in white gold, it’ll make the diamond sparkle even more.
For those who have this necklace in around .2 carat weight, can you still see Cs on the sides of the setting?
No it’s not discontinued.
I was able to answer my own question after seeing the necklace in person so thought I’d post in case it helps anyone else. You can definitely see the Cs on the side of the setting even with diamonds around a quarter carat. It looks more substantial than you’d expect for that carat weight. Love this necklace and all the details of it!
What other style necklaces do you all think would look good layered with the c de cartier necklace?
The shorter length is 15” and the longer is 16.5”. Agree, it looks nice when it sits at the center of the collarbones. Such a pretty necklace!
Ohhh do you have pictures of your studs on? I’m contemplating between 0.3 and 0.5/stud. I got RG and love it but somehow I feel like WG would shine even more, plus it would match your studs.
