Who “always taught” you?

I was always taught it's tacky to wear diamonds during the day.

I have .43 in each ear.

1 carat per ear. I have bigger (2/ear) and wore them for a while, but now it feels too much, like they are the focus.

1-1.5 carat total weight is perfect for everyday is you are more casual/minimalist and/or have smaller ears

Half a carat in each ear. I have a small head. And they are flawless so very sparkly.

1cttw for daily wear, I own 3cttw that I love but would never wear daily. It depends on the rest of your aesthetic. I go for a more casual natural look and style and don’t wear a lot of makeup etc. so the larger pair looks flashy on me.

I like 2 tcw for every day. No more than 3 tcw at the most.

Especially if you go into an office.

What does age have to do with this? I think your frame has more of an impact on how large you can go. I am small, always have been, always will be. I will never be able to wear the massive rocks that some women can.

4 ct tw

I have 1ct studs but honestly I think they are too big for my current aesthetic. I'm looking for something smaller, maybe a gold stud with just a very small diamond feature for a little shimmer. But lately when I put on my 1ct, I find myself taking them back off because they feel like too much for my day-to-day. I might just tuck them away to give to my daughter when she graduates high school.

I have small, attached earlobes so my 1 ct tw round studs look classic and understated.

If you’re over 40 what size diamond studs do you wear for everyday wear?
