I wear 2.65ctw studs in 4 prong basket, I love the size. I prefer rounds for earrings so they're never twisted or sideways. I like 1-1.5ct for pendants. Fun choices!
 
If they have excellent/ideal cut I'm sure you'll love them!


They do. I wouldn't skimp on that lol it's hard. I often get weird comments over my ring which at almost 3 carats isn't huge on these boards but in my area/career it is considered big. I've even stopped taking my nicer bags to work. And by nicer I mean a Michael kors tote. I wouldn't dare take my LVs to work!!
 
Frankly speaking diamond stud earrings size should must be with in that size which suits to your ear. I have just selected one set of diamond stud earrings for my daughter, I liked one best thing is that it's size is not too big and it is with in her ear size. I am also sending its photograph, if any one of you has any query you are most welcome to share your ideas.http://www.jtelsen.com/diamond-stud...-prong-0-75-2-00ct-diamond-stud-earrings.html
 
My husbands thinks, a lady is not competely equipped, without having a pair of diamond studs in her collection.
I am not necessarily a big fan of studs, I find them rather boring, but I agree, for some formal events, studs are an appropriate choice. Now I come to my question: What seems to be an appropriate size for that occasion? As he is thinking about a size of 3.00ct or more, I would see a size of more than 2.00ct inappropriate for formal events and invitations. Which size should I put on my wishlist?
 
Larger is never inappropriate. But honestly if you don’t love studs, why bother? Mine are just under a carat each. I wear every day. My friend just got diamond hoops which are stunning. Not circular round ones, more oval. I think hers were 3 carats. Great for dress up or everyday. The only way you’ll know what you like is if you go try. Good luck.

Thanks! Think you are right. I will have to try. Maybe I´ll come home then with 4 carats (lol)!
 
I think you have to try it on as it’s not just about the size, you have to consider the other “c’s” of the diamond too. I have a rather tiny earlobe and face so anything more than 1.5 carats on me tend to look obnoxious, so I go more for the clarity and cut. But I like your husband’s proposal too, lol!
