For me, the earrings I wear the most are lightweight (forget I have them on) and blingy and white metal. That’s why I wore my 2.3 ctw studs for four years exclusively. I’m a small stud type person. I don’t change earrings much and I used to wear them 24/7 and sleep with them. When I got into vca, these sweet pave studs are the closest to diamond studs but with a different look. I really appreciate the fine detailed craftsmanship on such a micro level. The sweet pave have exactly the same number of stones as the vintage size but much tinier. Imagine the labor that goes into creating these, every polished bead, every little prong. The diamond are just as white and well cut. I can stare at the sweet earrings forever. But I am in the minority as many vca lovers prefer the vintage size, which I have too, but don’t wear nearly as much. So it depends on your lifestyle and your preferences.
