I want to buy my wife a set diamond studs for our one year anniversary. I bought her e-ring from Whiteflash and was very satisfied. I'm debating on whether to buy a set of .5 or .75. I'm leaning toward the larger set but are they that much larger? I'm leaning towards sticking with WF since I trust them but am open to others suggestions. I initially wanted to spend around $800 but am willing to pay around $1100 if it makes sense. I just don't want to purchase the smaller set and wish I would have purchased the larger ones. All advice is appreciated. Everyone helped me purchase the e-ring- now you can help me purchase the one year anniverary gift!!!

Yes, there would be a visual difference. Here's a pic that might help you. And WF would be a fine choice to get them, especially since you are comfortable there. I'd also recommend the hand made 3 prong martini setting. This is a .74, .45, .17. ![]() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Hi, If you can afford the larger pair, I'd go for those. I had a pair of .50 ctw for years and upgraded a year ago to .80 ctw and those earrings are SO MUCH more wearable. They stand out more and are more proportionate to my ears.

Date: 3/29/2008 6:36:58 PM I think this is key. 0.50 ctw (0.25 ct per ear) can look huge on tiny earlobes. They can look dinky on larger earlobes. I have 0.85 ctw (0.42 and 0.43 ct) and I think they are perfect on my small to medium sized earlobes. I suggest taking a look at various ear shot threads here, and try to compare the pictures to her ears.

This is a .74, .45, .17. this picture needs a dime next to the 3 stones... I always laugh when I see this.. its like a 20ct rock on my screeen. haha.

If you can swing it, I'd get the larger pair. I think there will be a quite noticeable difference between the two sizes.

This probably won't help much with such a small size difference but I thought I would post anyway. It shows the size of the diamond on an average sized ear. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/jewelry/?tag=slickdeals&ie=UTF8&value=0.3750&popup=common%2Cview_earring_on_ear
