Thank you AME for responding so fast!!! I actually do like the size and I think they look good on me, and they sparkle like CRAZY!!! I just wondered if anyone had experience as I didn't want to regret them later... but I guess thats what upgrades are for :)

I think 1 ct is a great every day size. I wear a pair of yellow diamond studs that are about 0.8 tdw every day. I want a pair of 1.5 to 2.0s but don't see myself wearing studs of that size for every day wear. I think studs are lovely in all sizes. They are so personal and everyone's earlobes are different... You have to be comfortable with their size. Personally though, i think a smaller stud with great cut and fire far surpasses a larger stud.

I think it depends on how big they are relative to your ear lobe size. My ideal size would be 1.2ctw. I wouldn't get a bigger size even if I could afford it because I just like the proportions.

I have 1.5ctw and .70ctw. I prefer the smaller ones! They are super sparkly but still discreet. They are my everyday favorite earrings. I wear the bigger ones when I want alot of bling. Good luck deciding, I'm sure they'll be gorgeous in either size!

Thanks ladies for your responses! I think Im going to stick with the 1ctw. I do have fairly small ears so bigger might be too overwhelming for me. Plus I appreciate the effort of my DH :) Thanks for the help.

Check out Brian Gavin diamonds online. Incredibly cut stones. I'd make cut your #1 priority and focus on getting the best stones you can (as opposed to skimping on something and going for a bigger carat weight). Even 1.5 carats will look very substantial.

Mine are 4ct tw (each 2ct) E color and very sparkly. Gift from dh for having our last baby. Honestly, I wear them nearly every day and with everything. I really think it's what you feel most comfortable with.
It is much better to go with the best quality you can afford..regardless of size.
While mine are generously sized, I would take a small, well- cut diamond over a larger lesser quality diamond any day.

Well, what's your budget? You could start with a site like Blue Nile. IDJewelry is in NYC, as is Good Old Gold (Long Island and worht the hump), and all three will give you great quality. My personal specs for earrings would be in the I-J color
range, maybe SI1 clarity, ideal cut (I like a 55% table).

THANK you for the great info. im thinking about $5k...so maybe i need to stay on the smaller side.
