I just purchased these diamond and platinum earrings from Jewels by Erica Grace.

They are beautiful, but are they too small? I will be wearing my hair back in a sleek chignon or something similar and I am wearing a veil for the ceremony. If I keep these, I can do a headpiece or something for the reception. What do you think? Should I keep them (I have three days to return), buy bigger crystal earrings, or borrow bigger diamond earrings? Thanks!

You are so beautiful!

As someone who has admired those earrings for months, by all means, WEAR THEM!! They are absolutely gorgeous and I don't think they are too small.

Aw, thanks you guys! I just took these pictures in the bathroom at work! I know, I love them but I feel like they might be too small.

Ditto to everything! I've been DROOLING over those earrings! I'm glad they went to a PSer...ESPECIALLY for her wedding day!

No, they're beautiful! It's funny though, when I first saw the picture of them, I thought they were really big. When I saw that you had asked whether they were too small, I was thinking, "ummmm, noooo, they're not too smaaallllll." :bigsmile: Vendor photos always throw me off.

They are beautiful and absolutely fit for a bride! They will create beautiful sparkle yet be demure - perfection in my opinion! I like seeing flashes of sparkle on brides but nothing too big or over the top.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Unfortunately, I have decided they are too small for me so I am going to return them. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know! This is my dress:

Oh you returned them. Okay.

You want "real" earrings? Not simulants? Cause Nadri at Nordstroms kicks butt on making that style of jewelry with crystals.

Ok, I was going to say, they're really pretty and sweet and completely gorgeous BUT, if your looking for something with impact, these are not going to cut the mustard. If you want a really high impact look (but don't have buckets to spend), look for some good fakies if you want a diamond or coloured stones if you want to keep it real. I think Aquamarines like Gypsy suggested can be stunning, it's such a soft and easy colour to wear, would contrast with your dark hair and could be your something Blue

Good. Much as I love those earrings, I thought they were too small, too. I would wear big earrings and no headpiece. Your dress is gorgeous. You will be a stunning bride.

Do you like Aquamarines? They are blue... http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-STYLE-55ct-DIAMOND-4-ct-AQUAMARINE-EARRINGS-/150420886738?pt=Vintage_Fine_Jewelry&hash=item2305c894d2

Look at langsantiques.com and topazery.com

Wow, those art deco earrings are to die for! I'm trying to keep it under $2,000 though. I think I will probably go with crystal or something, though I like those aquamarine ones!

You bought the same earrings? Aw, poor Grace, they keep coming back.

I really like the first and last ones you posted. Thanks!

I like them, but think the price is too high considering the blemishes on those pearls.

I agree, but there's just something about them I like. I think I will probably end up buying something (either real or fake) locally so I can make sure I like them on. I want something a little less ornate and more "modern," so I really like these

Although the price is kind of high.

Thanks for all the help!

YAY. Those are my favorites! Call them up and tell them you are a pricescoper and ask them if what their best price is.

I think you'll get a lovely amount of wear out of them.

The entire line is gorgeous but I love those! Can't wait to see what you decide.
