I am thinking that i would like to stick with earrings, since that is what they chose for me and I don't really have any nice ones other than my diamond studs and pearl studs, which I pretty much alternate wearing. I am currently leaning towards either the Roberto Coin diamond hoops or the WF jackets pictured below. The jackets would be on 2ctw studs, so I am not sure if they would be too big (I am very petite with tiny ears) and I am also not sure how much I would wear them. They don't seem like an everyday thing, and I feel like I'd want something more dangly when I get really dressed up. The hoops are .80 ctw, which is a good size for me and I feel like I could dress them up or dress them down. I guess I am leaning towards the hoops, the only things that are holding my back is that I have to kick in about $450 for them which I have, but is a lot for just after Christmas, and that I am a little afraid they stick out and make me look like Dumbo. I am open to other hoops, I love the new Whiteflash ones and they are right at my budget, but I just don't love the single prong look - it's a little too dainty for me. Any suggestions? What would you choose?

I think you'd get a lot more wear out of them, and I don't think 1 ct. studs (each) need jackets! (By the way, who carries those hoops? I haven't seen that style and I look at RC earrings a lot!) ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

WF has these ones... http://www.whiteflash.com/Fine-jewelry/Diamond_Studs/Single-Shared-Prong-Diamond-Eternity-Hoops_1275.htm And I'm really digging these, but I can imagine my hair getting stuck in them http://www.whiteflash.com/Fine-jewelry/Diamond_Studs/-Diamond-Petals--Hoop-Earrings_1125.htm

I dont like the WF as much as the ones you picked out but if it were my money I would probably go with the WF. Enjoy whatever you choose ~~~Thanks to PS, my wants far exceed my budget!~~~

NovemberBride Cut Rock Total Posts: 478 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 6/26/2006	Thank you all for your responses! I was definitely leaning towards the hoops and you all have confirmed it. Diamondseeker, Bailey Banks and Biddle carries these hoops. If you are interested, I can find out the style number for you. In my area (Philly), they have the largest selection of RC by far. You are right, they are a style I have not seen many places (most of the RC hoops I saw were a complete circle, rather than having the post back.) I actually prefer this style because it sits better on my ear. Although there was a 2.3 carat pair of the other style that I wouldn't turn down, unfortuately they are way out of budget. I will be sure to post pics once I get them!

If you don't want to kick in the $450, what about the scattered diamond huggies? They'd come in under budget, and would rock for everyday wear! http://www.whiteflash.com/Fine-jewelry/Diamond_Studs/Scattered-Diamond-Huggies_1148.htm Run turkey, RUN!

They lived up to their definition of huggies, that's for sure! They were tiny enough for a baby..about a 1/2" in diameter or less. They did not hang below the earlobe at all, and I don't have big earlobes. So with small hoops, I really recommend trying some on before ordering just to avoid the hassle of returning them. I really prefer getting designer brands whenever possible, but I do look for discounts. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
