Subject: Diamond studs for every day wear? What size?
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.

Not everyone adheres to WASP-y notions of what's appropriate. Diamond studs are perfectly acceptable daytime wear in a lot of cultures. The fact that you deem this to be savage (i.e. akin to being raised by wolves) says a lot more about you than it does about the people wearing the earrings your judging.
Oh please. this comment is about copying the royals, as recently reported: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/why-meghan-and-kate-cant-wear-diamonds-in-the-daytime/news-story/c449890553a6aab2b7eedc00c466015f
And lets be real, no one on the board is talking about wearing the type of Diamonds that Kate and Megan have access to. Stud diamond earrings, ie not dangly, are fine during the daytime.
The royals didn’t “invent” the rule. It’s a long-standing requirement that well-bred ladies save diamonds (other than engagement rings) for dinner and later. You don’t have to agree, but I think it’s always helpful to learn about unspoken class indicators.
Who talks about well bred ladies here? It is usually moms, often working long hours with young kids.
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.

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.
+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.

Diamond studs are not appropriate for the day? Is it any better to wear cz or crystal studs?

Hardly, even Miss Manners agrees.
Miss Manners? You prove my point.

Do you really think a different of less than half a mm in diameter will look that much less huge?

Studs are fine for daytime. Drop earrings are for evening.

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.
