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

Carats (ct)	Diameter (mm)	Appearance
0.05 ct	2.5 mm	Very discreet, barely visible
0.10 ct	3 mm	Subtle and delicate
0.15 ct	3.5 mm	Small but noticeable
0.20 ct	3.7 mm	Classic and understated
0.25 ct	4 mm	Popular size, great balance
0.50 ct	5 mm	Noticeable presence
0.75 ct	6 mm	Clearly visible, strong sparkle
1.00 ct	6.5 mm	High impact, classic size
2.00 ct	8 - 9 mm	Large, bold look
3.00 ct	9.5 mm	Very imposing
4.00 ct	10.5 mm	Maximum sparkle

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.
