I wear a size 5 and I wear a 1.5ct diamond at the moment. DSS has really set in for me and I really want to upgrade to a 8.5mm amora - I'm really lusting over it but I'm not sure if I can pull it off to be honest. I don't want it to look like a door knob on my finger.

I wear a .5ct diamond pendant and I also have 1ct total earings which are just plain studs.

When it comes to believable - in my line of work anything is possible - I work with a lot of wealthy but modest people so it probably wouldn't really stand out. I'm more concerned with how it will look on my finger.

I keep googling 2.5ct diamonds to see - sad huh ! ha ha.

Cherokee those look gorgeous on you, and your hair is beautiful! I need to get myself some of those nifty backs, I never knew those existed.

I'm thinking when I get studs I might go for 7mm, but I'll have to take some different sizes for a test run. For reference, I'll wear a 9mm e-ring.

also for "believability" i think a mix of modest and blingy works better than everything huge.


+1

I wear a fairly modest sized ring compared to a lot of ladies on these boards, but it's still big for where I live. I have a 1.5ct in a halo and my moissy studs are 1.5ctw.

I also prefer my e-ring to take centre stage with a reasonable amount of sparkle on my ears. Having said that..CherokeeGirl, your studs look amazing!

I agree Ginger, I've seen some people with tiny lobes trying to wear bigger studs and the look awful sagging and such, where the same size on some one else would look nice. Just my 2 cents smile


+1 I currently wear 1ctw Amora OEC studs and I don't think I can go bigger (much as I want to.) 1.75ctw studs drooped forward and didn't look nice at all. When the AG comes out, I will be upgrading to 1.5ct ring (unless, of course, I get a case of shrinkage before the stone even comes to market LOL,) my current 1ct Amora RB will be bezel set into a pendant and I will wear them together.
