Diamond studs - sizing help

I think it really depends on your face shape and your overall appearance. For example, I am very petite, small and short and huge diamond studs do not look appropriate, which is why I prefer smaller studs.


I am also petite and have a smaller face and I have 2.5 ctw studs and love the size but I have very fleshy lobes which makes a difference in how they look. My mother who is the same size has very thin attached lobes and they appear much larger on her then on me.

There is no one perfect size because it really depends on the person. 1 ctw is a nice size, try some on and see what sizes you like on you.
 
1ct per ear (2ctw) or .5ct per ear (1ctw)?

I personally like smaller studs so I'd say .5 per ear. But there are two threads just a few threads below yours asking the exact same questions.

Me too, I like smaller ones for everyday. I hardly ever wear my bigger ones.
 
Hello everyone!

I don't own any diamond studs yet. This is my first pair and I believe in buying it right the first time even if it results in waiting longer.

I tried on .72 triple Ex, VVS1 F last week and thought I could do bigger.

My SA called me today to try these on. VVS1 G triple ex .82 each. What do you guys think? I need your help. Do you think it's a good size? Cartier diamond prices are going up 10% up on August 1st. What's new!

All the jewelry/ bling gurus on this forum... Please help. What is your favourite size?

Thank you :smile1:

Hi Rami. Those look stunning on you. I would definitely go for the .82 rather than the .72. Mine are 1ct each and I love them. I think around 1ct (a little less or a little more...no one can really tell the difference) is the perfect size [emoji4]
It looks like you have other piercings on that ear right? If so, I also have three piercings on one of my ears. I tried on 1/3 ct for the two other piercings and it looks amazing with the bigger stud on the first piercing...just a little more temptation for your next purchase [emoji6]
Good luck deciding!
 
I heard that for earrings it doesnt have to be vvs..thats what i read from pricescope...its not like anyone is gonna look closely on your earrings to look for inclusions as they do on rings...maybe you can check james allen or brian gavin for similar specs diamond..im sure you will save a lot. I even read there about someone refusing to buy anymore expensive earrings since she always lost a pair...
 
1) Size difference isn't an issue.

2) Why VVS?

3) What are the angles on these stones? Who graded them to be "triple ex"? If you're gonna pay this much freaking money for the brand--make sure they're actually cut properly. Just because they're Cartier does not guarantee they're the best they can be.

My SA said as soon it hits 1 carat each the price goes outta roof. You think there would be an obvious difference between .82 and .91?
