that's the first one that comes up when doing a Google search. Everyone knows this: no diamonds during the day except engagement ring. Here's another. https://www.tastefulspace.com/blog/2017/01/11/diamonds-are-a-girls-best-friends-the-etiquette-of-how-to-wear-jewelry/ |
I bought the 1 cttw from Lightbox (the DeBeers brand lab grown diamonds) and no wat I would buy mined diamonds now in 1 cttw or smaller. But they’re not really selling bigger pairs yet so if I were going bigger I would reconsider mined. |
Studs are fine for daytime. Drop earrings are for evening. |
These articles are weak. |
This old trope about diamonds in the daytime is repeated by people who did not grow up with money and are looking to latch on to what those with "breeding" do. |
Hardly, even Miss Manners agrees. |
I had 2 tcw CZ studs as a test for getting real ones and they seemed huge on me. I think I’m going to go for 1.8 tcw diamond studs. |
Do you really think a different of less than half a mm in diameter will look that much less huge? |
Who talks about well bred ladies here? It is usually moms, often working long hours with young kids. |
Miss Manners? You prove my point. |
Diamond studs are not appropriate for the day? Is it any better to wear cz or crystal studs? |
+1. It's hysterical to me. People try so hard on DCUMs. |
Go ahead, be a rube. We all know the rules even if you don't. |
Seriously! "Well-bred ladies"...good lord. The level of status anxiety on this thread is crazy. I will wear whatever jewelry I like wherever I like, and if Tatler and the royals and Miss Manners think it's tacky, they can go right ahead and think it's tacky. Who gives a flying f--k? Anxious rubes. |
I got 1.75 TCW round diamond earrings for Christmas and I think they’re perfect for everyday wear. I tried on a bunch and think between 1.5-2 TCW is perfect on a normal sized ear. |
