Comparing Solitaire Stud Sizes

The size of a solitaire stud depends on the diameter of the stone, measured in millimetres (mm) and often expressed in carats (ct). This visual guide helps you compare different sizes on a woman's ear.

Size Chart

Note: Carat measurements indicate total weight per earring. Diameter may vary slightly depending on the stone cut (round brilliant vs princess).

How to Choose the Right Size

For a subtle look: Go with 0.10 ct to 0.25 ct. Perfect for everyday wear or a minimalist style.

For a classic look: Sizes 0.50 ct to 1.00 ct offer an excellent balance of presence and elegance.

For a bold look: Starting at 1.50 ct, studs become a true style statement.

Tip: Consider your earlobe size — a stud that's too large on a small lobe may look disproportionate.
