I don't mean to pick on you, but I kind of disagree with this. Some people have tiny lobes. I've attached a pic of my .25 each studs.

Also, if you work in a conservative field, 1 carat each is inappropriate.

I work in finance, managing non profits, and it would be tacky to wear big diamonds when I'm working with people who don't have two dimes to rub together.

Those are very pretty! I thought I would want at least one carat in Each ear, but those are great. Actually dainty , simple jewelry is really in right now. Sometimes less is really more. Thanks for the picture!

Thank you!

I don't have any coworkers with large studs. I don't want to wear better jewelry than my boss. [emoji57]

I don't know. My prefered stud size is 1.5 tcw, but decent diamond studs that size would put me back ~$8k, which is far more than I'll be able to afford for a very long time. (Any diamond studs I could comfortably afford at this time would be too tiny for me to enjoy.) So I wear 1.5 tcw CZ studs, and I'm saving up for moissanite studs, which will presumably be more sparkly and last longer.

I feel that when it comes to studs, CZs appear so similar to diamonds (to the average observer, unless the TCW is comicly high) that I can wear them without worrying that they'll look "cheap" (like so much CZ jewelry). If I plop down a ton on diamond jewelry, I'd rather it be unique in design, and something that can't easily be replicated in style.

That being said, if money were truely no object, of course I'd go for diamonds! ;)
 
I have a pair of 1 ctw studs, but rarely wear them. I tend to stick with pearls during the day and diamond hoops at night. Ridiculous and outdated rule, but I was an impressionable child with an impossibly proper grandmother.

The diamond studs do get more wear when I travel. They have screw-on backs, so there is little chance of losing them. I like that feature.
 
Hello ladies,
I'm am thinking of getting fiamond studs for my birthday. I have Hearts on fire in my mind but found out that they issue AGS certificate instead of GIA. Do you think it will make a big difference or will it bother you if your diamond is by AGS and not GIA.
A bit of a silly question, do they even issue certificate for diamonds studs?
 
I've been wearing my studs for about 6 years. I have a pair of diamond hoop earrings as well and don't wear them at all. I prefer the classic look studs. Mine are .90 each. I would like to upgrade them some time soon

I'm looking to purchase diamond studs for an upcoming birthday and I'm wondering what your thoughts are for the best size? I would be wearing the earrings for everyday use and special events.

I'm trying to decide between 2 CTW or 2.4 CTW. Is it worth spending a bit more for slightly larger diamonds?

Thanks for your help!
 
I wear 2.7ctw daily. Depends on your style, I think mine are a bit blingy. Can you try on both sizes? There might not be enough of a visual difference to justify a price jump. Really you can't go wrong with either size.
