I *love* your necklace. It looks so Alhambra-like, but not an outright copy. I hear you about 10mm. I tried on some earrings that size and they looked like I was a little girl trying on my Momma's earrings. But, on the plus size I can get away with smaller sized diamond studs without the heftier price tags that come with the bigger ones.
true story!!! when i was trying on the diamond earrings I said to her no point in going big cuz it'll look funny, lets try .35 in each ear. I had no idea I could wear a half carat in each ear! But I def won't go bigger than this
