Diamond studs?

Nope, my ring size is 5 1/4 (of course we wear the same size ring ) so perspective doesn't explain it. You just have a fab ring!

I got a pair of small diamond studs for my 30th birthday. I wore them everyday until a few months ago. I lost one, and can't find it. It either went down the drain or Murphy ate it. I'm waiting until the price of jewelry goes down until I get another pair.

I wear 1/2 ct square studs in the second hole every day. I go back and forth between hoops and lever back gold earrings in the first hole.

I LOVE diamonds. I've worn them every day for years.

If you get diamond stud earrings, make sure you get screw on backs. It may cost a little more - but the peace of mind is worth it.

My dh gave me a pair for xmas about 15 years ago. They have only been out of my ears for cleaning since getting them. I love them and will keep on wearing them.

I wear my diamond studs daily. My boyfriend bought them for me almost nine years ago (yes he's still my boyfriend and that's another thread for another time). My backs screw on so I don't have to worry about losing them. It's not practical is you take them off daily because they're a little hard to get off but if you only take them off to clean them it's worth the little bit of extra $. I did have to have them replaced last fall because the threads had been worn down but I think it only cost about $40. If you are concerned about losing your diamond studs, screw on backs are the way to go.

I've got 6 diamond studs on right now. They start out on the bottom with 3/4carat, the middle is 1/2 carat, and the top is 1/4 carat. I feel naked without them. I also have 6 very very small diamonds for maybe the beach, or boating. You get what you want girl. Diamonds are very classy. You can tell the difference in a CZ and a diamond, but maybe that doesn't matter. I wore CZ's mounted in white gold before I got my diamonds. If you can afford it, get the real thing. You can't have too many of them. Most jewelry stores will let you trade them in for full value if you purchase an item that is twice the value of your original purchase! Keep trading them in and you can end up with huge diamonds. I've done that with my right finger ring, I just keep trading them in every 3 or 4 years. Diamonds are a girls second best friend! Yorkies are first!

If you go to church, look at it in church! It sparkles like crazy there for some reason.

Just saw this thread....... YES, I wear mine daily. After we sold our old house and "had money to burn" LOL, my hubby finally bought me a pair of princess cut studs - 1/2 carat each. I wear them every single day. The one thing I wanted to mention though is at the first store we looked at, there was a saleslady wearing two pairs in each ear. They looked fake and cheap! You know why? They were DIRTY! I say if you're gonna wear diamond studs, bring on the sparkle!! I take mine out every night when I get home (along with all my other jewelry) and then in the morning I wipe the surfaces with a tiny diamond cleaning cloth I have in my jewelry box. That's because I tend to use hairspray sometimes during the day and it gets on the earrings. I LOVE the sparkle of my diamonds and wear them with everything!

Since you said you're saving up, be sure to pay attention to the 3 C's.... cut, color and clarity. You can get away with a semi-flawless diamond if it has a good color. I personally wouldn't pay the big bucks just to get a flawless stone. The color is very important though. Good luck saving for them!

Oh definitely! I had to laugh at this because it's something I've always noticed too. My SIL's first husband actually proposed at church - I always thought so the cheasey ring he gave her would look better!
