If they still feel too big after looking at a diff setting, keep the diamonds and look at putting them in a pendant or something. You may change your mind later. Then get a smaller pair for everyday wear, but don't get rid of these. You'll regret it.

Ok, this is going to sound gross, but it's hard to keep earrings that you wear a lot 100% clean, so after awhile once they get dirty they won't be quite as sparkly. So you can rest assured that won't be a problem.


You don't use jewelry cleaner? I take mine to the jeweler to get them really clean.

It might be the bezel setting making them looking too big. Can you put them in a 4 prong setting? I have 1 ct tw 4 prong stud in color F ideal cut and they are not too large or flashy at all. I wear them with jeans on the weekends without feeling too fancy.

Keep them OP, you will get used to them, they sound gorgeous. I wear my 1ct studies with jeans or dresses. Can't go wrong!

As for the discussion of diamond color, to the pp who can't get over rare fancy yellow diamonds because they are the color of 'pee'.... Then may you be so lucky as to never be able to afford them. And also, may you learn to hydrate more.


LOL. I agree with all of this, platinum gets heavy after awhile. Also I would LOVE to be able to afford a yellow diamond.

Yellow gold looks terrible w diamonds.



Completely disagree, depends on the setting.

Maybe on you, but perhaps you are pinkish-white in which case, yeah, you look better in things that have cool undertones. I actually prefer yellow gold and think it looks fantastic with diamonds. I have a warm skintone, and that is the combo that looks best on me.


Nope, I am a redhead and wear warm fall colors - but I think diamonds in yellow gold look terrible (and dated) and my diamond earrings and rings are set in white gold or platinum.


Good for you.

Who cares what you think? I mean, really? It's probably a tough concept for you to grasp, but you get to make decisions for yourself and not the entire world. Get over yourself.
