Finesse Earrings white gold: two different sizes?

[lihoo]

I saw in the online store two options for Finesse earrings. I think it depends on the region/country, but some of countries offer following two options.

1). in white gold, size: Ø 1,02 cm, 38 diamonds, ctw 1,08 (https://www.hermes.com/de/de/product/ohrstecker-finesse-H210500Bv00/)

2). in white gold, size: 1,5 x 1 cm, 34 diamonds, ctw 0,92 (https://www.hermes.com/de/de/product/ohrstecker-finesse-H219510Bv00/)

It seems the differences are diameter and ctw, but the option 2 which has a smaller ctw has a higher price. In addition, I don't understand well how the size of option 1 is expressed as 1,02cm....as the earring has not only round part. Has anyone of you seen the both types?

Interestingly, if you count the diamonds pictured, they both have 34 diamonds. While their H ref numbers are two digits off, I believe they are actually the same item and H is just really bad at details and descriptions. I would guess that they are the same size but that listing #2 rounded 1.02 down to 1cm for ease of listing. In other words, they are both approximately 1 cm for the diameter of the circle, with one site also giving details on how far across the bar part measures. I believe these were released a couple of years ago and then had a rerelease recently which would also explain the new H ref number and updated price. I’ve seen this before in noir legend shoes (two listings, two ref numbers, $10 difference, and no difference in item pictured nor description) as well as on wallets.
I would ask your SA for the cheaper one by ref number and if they can’t find any, ask by the other number.

Thank you very much for your comment! The customer service replied me today. Your assumption was right- they told me that option 2 is a renewed version which has improved earring backs (so the price is higher). Actually both are identical item.
