I was looking at studs when I just bought my wedding band. This is definitely something that will vary from ear to ear. For me 1.0-1.5 tcw was perfect. I have TINY lobes and anything over 1.5 just didn't look good-even my jeweler agreed. Good news for DH!

surfergirljen - you should go to a jeweler to try on some studs, to get an idea of what you like in your ear.
I second this and don't do it just for size. Try on different styles, martini vs. basket--martini doesn't suit everyone.
Didn't mean to offend.
Contessa phrased it much better than I did--go by what looks good on you. you can't go wrong with that.
Ha ha! Yes, I know this forum is a bit on the "larger" side when it comes to diamonds than the general population!
I would love to see pics of some different sizes, is there an ear studs in action post that I've missed?I'm leaning towards this - what does everyone think?

I just wanted to say my earrings came from blue nile and it was a great experience. My fiance picked out a great pair of diamonds, but the whole process was really easy and we've been very happy with them.
I received my studs from Blue Nile a few weeks ago.
Signature Ideal-cut, E-color, SI1-clarity, .83 tcw. GIA certified.
I posted some photos that did not do the earrings justice- they are really beautiful.
I was concerned about purchasing online, but Blue Nile was just great with wonderful reps. I would speak with someone before you purchase as they are very helpful!

If I can help anymore just ask
That could be a highly dangerous proposition! Especially around these parts!!! I'm "looking" at getting a band.....MAYBE!
Ha!!
I received some great advice on this board, so I am truly happy to help out in return!
Ah...was confused that you were looking for the earrings, but a new band sure sounds great
(and doesn't maybe always = yes?)

I had a pair of screw backs and they drove me nuts. I had bought them for myself two years ago. A year later I went back to the jeweler and she let me trade up being that I never wore them.
I chose the same sized diamond, but with a ring of smaller stones around the center. That gave the illusion of a larger stone. Also, thick/long hair seemed to swallow up my ears. The newer studs look much better, and are a pleasure to wear.

YUP! Blue Nile GIA certified ideal excellent/excellent all around.
And yes I think I'm into the 4 prong look and safety too!
