I think diamond studs are definitely worth it. DH bought me some for a special birthday some years ago. I picked studs because I wanted something I could wear daily and get the most use from, they also go with everything. I've never regretted it, they feel so special when I wear them, the shine is amazing. I wear them most days but do have other earrings that aren't so expensive that I still love to wear. I was also lucky to pick them up in a local stores closing down sale :smile: so I ended up with a better cut & size than I was expecting :love:

You also mention buying a LV bag but think you'd get more use out of the studs. I would question that as a classy bag looks fantastic and can be used daily. I guess it depends on which other bags you own.................if it were my first luxury designer bag, I'd go with the bag. I think I'd get far more of a wow factor out of the bag each day than the earrings.

For me, they are worth it. While there is a time and a place for CZ in some women's lives (we all have different lives and lifestyles. Maybe you don't want to worry about losing one, maybe you exercise a lot and is afraid one will fall out, maybe you roll around at ton in your sleep, heck maybe you just like CZ.), I think diamond studs are irreplaceable. No matter who gives them to you, or if you buy them yourself, if you get once a year cleanings done on them, you really can keep them your whole life--something to cherish forever.

Also, I was window shopping in the jewelry store yesterday (and of course falling in love with everything.), and happening to make my way over to the diamond studs as this is something I want to buy myself within the next year and a half, if I have funds after getting a tennis bracelet; and can tell you that you can tell the difference between diamonds and CZ. I looked at both there. The diamonds were much more sparkly IMHO.

I would love to have real diamond studs. But honestly with my hair they would have to be larger at 2 carats each. Something that is not affordable for me. I wear high quality fake ones every single day, so in the long run the diamonds would be worth it .

I used to think they were overrated until I was surprised with a pair on my wedding day. They're 1 CTTW, and I love them. I'm a total believer now that they are worth the investment, and DH is planning on upgrading me to a bigger pair for my 35th birthday.

My diamond studs are the one piece of jewelry I rarely ever change out. Mine are .70ct each for a tcw of 1.40
I was cheap and kept it below the .75ct mark where prices seem to increase. I definitely think they're worth it.

Totally agree with those who say it's easy to lose a stud earring! I've lost plenty over the years but thankfully I've never splurged or was gifted a pair of studs that cost more than $50. Now all of my studs are at least 14k gold (sensitive piercings, ugh) but with a sparkly CZ or lab created stone inside. No one could tell the difference on your ear. I've walked into plenty of local jewelers and have seen their eyes trying to gauge if they're real or fake, but I'm not gonna take them off my ear!

Yep. I wear CZ studs with my diamond bracelet and rings, and I think everyone thinks they are real. I always wanted real ones cause I feel I woudl wear everyday. Funny, the only time I have every lost a stud earring was in the rough waves of the ocean. Of course if I got real ones I would not wear them to the beach, but I feel I woudl wear them almost every day. I am finding as much as I lover larger jewelry pieces, I tend never to wear them as much as simple jewelry lately. I am now planning on investing more of my money on finer simple piece brands like : Vrai and Oro, Dana Rebecca, Zoe Chicco, etc. I love alot of David Yurman jewelry, but in the long run not sure if I would get alot of wear with alot of the pieces. Though I still want the slimmest cable bracelet :)
