Diamond Studs

I ended up deciding on a 0.9 ctw pair after going into a jeweler and comparing the size of the stones against my ears. They come next week, so I hope I love them!

Just got them! They're beautiful! Both stones are VS2, J color, excellent cut, triple ex, and 0.45 carats each. Set in 18k yellow gold. I'm so glad I went smaller. To me, they look huge on my ear (although my husband says they look a little small ). Excuse the wet hair - just showered! No

I found this thread to be very helpful so I want to contribute. Got these solitaires from Tiffany for my birthday. They are 1.4ctw I VS1/VS1

Here are some shots of the round brilliants I have had and currently have. The first pair were no name .5ctw (still have them for my 2nd hole).

then I got my first super ideal pair from Brian Gavin (.67 ctw). I went with BGD because that is where my e-ring stone is from.

I traded those in a couple of years later to upgrade to my current pair which is .81 ctw. (Apparently I never gave them a photoshoot because the lighting in our current house stinks...) Pardon the wet hair. But here is an ear shot of the .81 BG pair with a .82 ctw old european cut pair. (The super ideal cut pair is 4.75mm each)

Old European cuts (.82 ctw ~4.5mm each...)

I love the buttercup settings. Has always been my favorite setting. I have a diamond pendant that is in a buttercup and I love it.
 
My birthday present this year are these 1.2 cttw diamond studs in rose gold setting from Tiffany! It was a total upgrade as the ones I previously have were 0.5 cttw. Very happy with them and I wear them everyday!
Wow congrats!! I totally understand where people are coming from they say to get non designer diamond studs but my heart was set on a daily pair from Tiffany and I am so happy with them. They are so sparkly and bring so much joy to my mourning routine. This pair is so beautiful on you :loveeyes:
