Diamond Studs for Men: Size, Setting and Price Explained
For most men, diamond studs of 3.5 mm to 5 mm across look right: about 0.15 to 0.45 carat per stone in a round brilliant. Below 3 mm they read as a glint; above 6 mm they become a statement. A bezel or four-prong setting on a screw back is the secure everyday choice.
