I was debating that too. I ended up retiring my 1.75 ctw earrings away and got diamond pave alhambra earrings. They go with everything and I **love** them. Now, this thread is starting me thinking....lol

when my wife wears all of her diamond studs (which is rare), shes wearing close to 20 karats

but a very good ours is a jeweler, which helps out alot, with any jewelery we buy, lol

her biggest are 2k then they go down by close .25k from there with a couple pairs of lighter weights

shes got 15 piercings in each ear, so when she wears all diamonds, they are approx 2k, 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 1, .75, .75, .5, .5, .25, .25, .125, .125, .125, .125 then shes also got .075 for each nostril piercing

i have 4 piercings in each lobe and a couple cart piercings myself

i also own diamond studs for myself, but my biggest are about .8k, with the smallest being about .15 but i typically wear all hoops in graduated sizes

Wow, that sounds over-the-top, super sparkly and fun! Do you have a photo of your lovely lady in all her diamond gear? I'd get a real kick out of seeing that.

Thanks!

Those pave earrings sound really nice and it seems that you are getting great use out of them. I tried to find some photos on the internet. Do yo have the dangly ones, or the stud version?

I would love to rock 2 ctw studs, too bad its not in the budget right now. I do however have a very very nice set of .75 that sparkle from across the room that I wear pretty regularly. I think quality of the diamonds one wears play a big part as to whether people assume they are fake.

I have a really good quality, H VS2, H & A, but a lot of people not in the know just assume a larger pair is fake without really looking--at least around here. I don't really care if people think mine are fake or not, though. I used to when I first got them but I decided life is too short.

Yours sound pretty. Have you posted pics somewhere?

For me, I don't like the look of anything over 3cts total. When I see someone wearing huge diamonds, and/or lots of diamonds, real or not, I just assume they're fake; not to mention it looks tacky, imo. However, with that said, everyone should wear what they feel comfortable in because, honestly, that's all that matters.

I have a pair of 3.5 tcw brilliant studs and I wear them almost every day, they definitely are eye-catching and I do get comments sometimes. That said, I have a 2 tcw pair that are also beautiful, definitely big enough to make a statement. HTH

think 1-2 carat each is a good size. Having said that, i like larger jewelery so this size maynot be for everyone. I definately don't like HUGE diamond studs-anything over 3 carat each is way too big and reminds me of infamous ladies on the Basketball Wives

3.5 cttw for me...worn everyday! I don't get any comments. When I see women with giant studs, I think I'm ready to size up!!!! This totally happened at BH NM when I was in LA for business the other week!!!!

It's all a matter of preference. I would never look at a woman with small studs and think how small.

I'd love to see a pic too, (granted it doesn't have to be all of them, but I'd personally like to see it on someone else with even 3-4 of them as I have 5 piercings in my ears and would love to work towards a diamond graduated look over time) when you get time :) Thanks!!
