What size diamond earrings?

bozsik asked:


Ladies, what size diamond earring is just right for you, if you are like my wife? She is 5′1, petite, and is not showy or flashy at all. I know she would love diamond earrings for Christmas, but I do not know what size is decent. I can afford a nicer pair of 1 carat TW, but I’m afraid they might be too big for her petite frame. (She doesn’t want to look like an NFL player flashing bling)

Any suggestions? I think 0.5 carat TW is too small, but I’m a stupid man, after all.

Thanks

    I think she will tell you exactly what size she wants, it sounds like she is hinting already.

    You might also need to consider cut as part of this. The normal round cut, brillant, is generally more sparkly, therefore a smaller size might be better if you are afraid of the bling factor. Emerald cut is a nice rectangle cut, without as many faucets, therefore they aren’t as sparkly (still very nice, my personal favorite). You could get larger ones, but they are more expensive. Either way, I would suggest staying around 1 carat TW would be a very nice size.
