I've consistently worn faux pearl studs to work or for events for a few years--constantly needing to replace as they degrade or turn my ears green--and am looking to take advantage of the current Pearl Paradise sale and treat myself to a pair of Freshadama studs. Pearls are new jewelry territory for me, so I'm feeling like quite a novice!
I'm in my 40s, tall and full-figured with earlobes to match, so I prefer the look of a larger pearl. My latest faux pair (from Target, eek) measure 10mm across and seem just about right, not too small and not too big. Here's what I'm debating: should I go for the 9.5-10mm pair or the 10-10.5mm pair? Is it a noticeable difference? The price also jumps up from $156 for the 9.5-10mm, to $248 for 10-10.5mm. Both are comfortably in my budget, but I'm trying to gauge if there's value to spending more for the size difference.
Advice?
