This is an old thread but it’s my exact dilemma now! Deciding between the small Victoria’s and 0.48 ctw dbty solitaire studs. I have the dbty solitaire necklace and 5 station bracelet which i would wear daily with either earring. Sounds like there were a couple of you deciding btw studs and Victoria - what did you end up choosing and how is it working out for you? Are they the every day piece you expected them to be? Modelling shots attached for reference! Thanks for your help!!

Hi there I totally get your dilemma but in the end I ended up with both. I interchange between the two and both pretty much go with everything. My thoughts are to go with the pair that look bigger. I feel Victoria are more special and you can always get the studs later in a larger size. If you like the solitaire look you can wear cubic zirconia for now if it doesn’t fit the budget. Pick the pair that gives you the bigger smile. I wear a pair of 1.4tcw studs (0.7 each) - but now want to get larger studs. I think the small Victoria are perfect for every day and the design is more special. The 0,48 tcw will look smaller and opting larger in my opinion is better in the long run. I would go for the Victoria.

This is the best answer I have gotten, thank you! I agree the Victoria’s are more special and I would be thinking about them the whole time with the dbty, so I should get them first. Great idea on the cz studs to fill the void for now lol. Happy to hear you find the Victoria’s versatile, that was my top concern. Did you get the Smalls? I feel so excessive wanting to buy both, but they really are two different looks, I agree!

I have them in size small too - they are the perfect everyday size. For Cubics I recommend Nordstrom- they have so many sizes and often can be bought on sale !! Let me know what you end up going with !! Enjoy!!

I must be the only one who doesn’t like classic diamond studs. I prefer a more interesting design when it comes to diamond earrings. The Socrates and the Tiffany ones look amazing. (Again, I appreciate a unique design.)

I feel the dbty and Tiffany’s are both different enough looks that it warrants buying both lol. The dbty is more of a classic, goes with anything style whereas the Victoria’s have that eye-catching appeal. I’m planning to buy the small Victoria’s next year, but bought a smaller pair of dbtys for now (0.46 ctw). I’ve had them for about a week now and am really loving them. Just like the rest of the collection they give off an effortless elegance. Attached a picture for size reference and paired with necklace (0.34 ctw) and bracelet (0.4 ctw, 5 stone) in case it’s useful to others.

I 100% agree with this statement. Perfectly worded!
I would get the victoria's over the studs for the workmanship and the rarer look. Many jewelers won't even attempt to make a replica of the Tiffany Victoria because of how difficult it is to source 8 similar shaped marquis diamonds.
Diamond studs are everywhere.

Hi everyone! So I have the opportunity to buy the medium Victoria’s in platinum for a good price. Does anyone have a pair and can comment if it’s too much for daily wear? My SA said it feels heavy on and Gets in the way of wearing a call headset. I have dbty studs for everyday so wanted to go a bit bigger on the Victoria since it’s be a milestone gift to myself. Pics attached of me with small and mediums on!
