What is a good size diamond pendant for everyday wear?

Posted: May 1st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Jewelry Questions | Tags: , , , , , | 4 Comments »

For my anniversary/birthday (they are close together … didn’t plan that one right – lol!), my husband wanted to purchase a piece of jewelry. I am wanting to go with a diamond solitaire pendant OR diamond stud earrings. I am a stay at home mom so my wardrobe is pretty casual. What size pendant should I go with? What size earrings should I go with? I want them to be noticable, but not gawdy. Thanks in advance!

    I think 1/2 carat each is good.

    Oh my gosh my grandma works at avon and she got me a diamond pendant and MATCHING earings!
    they were sooo cute
    you should get about a LITTLE less than an inch….NO bigger than one inch
    and you should get matching earings if you can
    p.s. im 12 and I wear my pendent EVERYDAY I love it! it matches with everything and so do the earings!

    You have kids? if you do, a pendant will not be a very convinient one coz when you carry he/she or when you play with them chances of it being pulled is higher than earring. i think 1/2 a carat is nice for everyday wear
