Diamond Studs

[JenW]

I posted mine in another thread. These are 0.03 ct each. I prefer the smaller look. View attachment 3709920

Oops. I meant 0.3

Here are all my studs, ranging from .33 down to .05 or .10 not able to remember which. I love alternating different shapes

Does TCW mean for a pair, or for a earring? I mean, when you say that they are 2 carat TCW, does that mean that the earrings are 2 carat each, or 1 carat each?

TCW = total carat weight = one carat per earring (in this case).

Thanks, I am familiar with the shortening, I just didn't know if it was the "total pair" or "total earring". As earrings can be clusters too, I mean. Thanks for the clarification though! Very helpful to know!

Total carat weight is generally used to describe the total amount of diamonds in a particular item; so if earrings, divide by two to see how many in each earring (given that they aren't always solitaires.)

I have little ears, my studs are 1.5 ctw (3/4 per ear) and look perfect on me!

I'd say get the 2.4. Although 2.0 is certainly a very nice size. To be honest I only say get the larger ones becauce i got smaller ones then wanted larger. I bought 1.5 meaning each ear .75 then I wanted bigger So now I have smaller size that I never wear just sitting in my jewelry box.

I'm not a fan of plain studs. I like taking diamond studs and designing my own jackets. I have tiny earlobes so 2 CTW would be huge on me.

I have sadly lost my studs But 1 ctw are perfect for everyday use, in my opinion - mine were a little over 1 carat. I would like to replace them when I have more funds to get really good quality ones around 1-1.20 ctw with jackets for special occasions.

It definitely depends on your style/life/proportions I think - try them on and see what you feel best in, as everyone's different I wear 1cttw Asscher studs so on the small side (for this forum ) but they're absolutely perfect for me for every day.

ditto this. i picked 1ct tw for daily wear b/c they suited my face and ears. try some pairs on. if you do select a smaller size then definitely increase the cut/clarity.

For me, it depends on the size of your face AND what makes you feel comfortable. I have 2ct studs. I never wear anything bigger than a stud, or too fancy on my ears. I have a big face and I can't wear anything smaller either.

Like many have advised, it depends on your proportions. Additionally, what sort of statement you wish to make.
I own both 4ctw studs and 2ctw studs. While the large studs are beautiful (and I have small earlobes) these days I prefer to be more discrete.
Anything 2ctw or less is perfect for everyday IMO and sometimes (depending on the cut) the smaller studs can be more sparkly and more tasteful/ appropriate for more occasions.

I have a small head and smallish ear lobes, so 1 ctw is fine on me. I had some 1.5 ctw studs, and anything larger would probably look fake on me. Depending how where you live, especially large diamond studs can make you a target for thieves.

Get a 2nd hole pierced and wear those behind ur bigger ones!
