I like small diamond studs. I am going to purchase a pair FINALLY from the Nordstrom sale. They are platinum, which is important.

I am trying to decide between the .25ctw and the .33ctw. There is a $170 difference in price.

I am sure the specs are not ideal. But the only online vendor that has something comparable size/pricewise in Plat is a vendor I refuse to patronize.

I considered Blue Nile bec for the .33 they are a little less expensive (like in between the two from nordstrom pricewise)...but I don't know how the cut quality is, Kwiat I thought was pretty nice.

So...what should I do? The .25 ctw or the .33ctw?

Do you have more than one piercing per ear or will these be for your only piercing?

I have 2 piercings and I wear .10 (.20 ctw) in the second ones. They only come out for cleaning. At first, I was worried they would be too small, but now I am glad I chose that size because A. they give me just the little bit of sparkle I was wanting and B. they do not interfere with the earrings I wear in my main piercing. Some of my other earrings are wider and if the diamonds were any larger, they would touch and change the way the earrings hang.

So, if you are using them for 2nd hole, then I would suggest the smaller pair. If they are for your main piercing, then go for the larger pair.

Hope you show pics when you get them!

Will do!

I am leaning towards the .33's as well.

I have more than one set of holes in my ears but I rarely wear anything at all, if I do it's in my first set. So these would be first set earrings. If I wear them in the 2nd set, it would be with Platinum and Diamond huggie hoops. Which I think I might sell or sometihng, bec I never wear them.

Congrats. Post photos when you get them.
I think the .33 was a wise choice, although .25's can look very nice also. I bought my son and my niece .25's and they both love them (my son only wears one in one ear.)

You are going to love them. Great choice. And Kwiat is a very reputable brand, with beautiful products and they've been around for a very long time. I bet they are gorgeous IRL. Post pics when you get them. :)

Will do!

I usually wear .25 per ear in my Winks (synthetics) and they're perfect. But I wasn't interested in $1000 studs, and I was ok with these being a hair smaller. I can't wait to get them.

I still prefer the larger size even in a second hole. I have my diamond studs in my second hole and they are a little over a half carat in each ear.
Good choice on the larger size! Post pics:)
