I wear 0.5 ct in my 2nd holes every day. They were my grandmothers and I refuse to take them out. I reserve the 1st holes for trendy earrings.

i have a high scool friend whos family has also been a long time family friend who owns a jewerly business

ive taken advantage of this over the years when it comes to buying jewerly for me and my wife

although i dont wear them much i have 4 pair of diamond studs for each of my lobe piercings

.6 karats, .3, .2, and .13

my wife has 14 lobe and cart piercings and has a pair of studs for each

her biggest pair is 1.5, then about 1, .75, .5, then the rest are all between .1 and .25

ive spent alot of money over the years on diamond studs for us

I have 2 pairs of diamond studs, both are of a round brilliant cut, E colour and VVS1 clarity.

One pair is 0.5 carat each earring. The other 0.3 carat each earring. I prefer the 0.3 carat for work and the 0.5 carat when i go out. Anything bigger than 0.5 carat looks ridiculous on my ear lobes.

I've looked everywhere on this forum for the name of the website that shows what different size diamond studs look like on actual ears. Does anyone know where I can find this?

And finally, a modeling shot...

mangowife,

you have a great collection of diamonds at such a young age! how cool is that!

what cttw are the modeling studs?
well, it is only 1 stud, but in the pair, how much cttw are they?

I am planning on getting myself studs and not sure what size to choose.

They look beautiful! Wear them in good health.

I'm getting my ears pierced soon, and I was thinking about having diamond studs as my first pair, but some photos of different sizes and shapes would really help me decide. I want to pick something nice, as I'll have to leave them in for at least a month, haha-

Does anyone find larger, square/princess-cut studs unattractive? That's what I was leaning towards.

You should really go with something light while your piercings are healing. If you go with something heavy, the piercings can "droop" and not heal straight. They will heal at an angle.

I suggest either the small gold ball studs (if you can wear gold) or the stainless ones. That will give you that much more time to decide on diamonds!
