I would really appreciate some assistance...
I need some opinions and advice on the size of studs. Im shopping for 2 pair of studs , 3 prong martini set extremely low, wondering if these two sizes of studs will compliment each other or look too blingy on the ear (if there is such a thing as too blingy). Both pair have great HCA numbers.

pair of studs for bottom hole
5.40 x 5.43 x 3.35 mm, 0.60 ct
5.52 x 5.53 x 3.30 mm, 0.61 ct

pair of studs for 2nd hole
4.30 x 4.31 x 2.63 mm, 0.30 ct
4.37 x 4.38 x 2.64 mm, 0.31 ct

I used the largest of each pair...this is a relative size difference between the two to
give you an idea what they will look like together.

I personally think the sizes you've picked will look good together.

I too think that those sizes would be very complimentary.

Hi Zesty :)

Personally, I think your sizes are too close together for the outer hole stud to look like an accent and I think it will make the .6ct stone look smaller than it needs to look. I think .6 and .15 together is a more elegant look. My cushion cut studs are .61 for the inner hole and .13 for the outer. I went for an even sharper ratio than .6 / .15 because the bezel setting I have pumps up both stones. But if I were doing prong set, I would have had .6 and .15. I don't like a look where it appears you have 2 pairs of earrings fighting for attention, and a pair of .6ctw studs is not insubstantial. So I'd go with something smaller and let the littler stones point the way to their bigger sisters. :)

And - nice to see you! :wavey:

Thank you MGR!!
the ratio on the ear would be 1/2; .6 ctw & 1.21 ctw, I think i might be ok with that. I would like the stones to not look too big on my ear. We will see...
