That’s sad - I would love any diamond earrings! If she wants big ones - get her fake ones - some are so good you can’t even tell the difference (and it will cost you a lot less!!)
1/4 carat would be too good for her. Kick that ungrateful gold digger to the curb!
she seems very snobby and stuck up ,tbh she should think herself lucky.
why don’t you just let her make do and if shes that fussed save up and get her some georgeus platinum diamond earings when you have the money or for christmas or her b’day next year.=%2fshopping%2fitem.aspx%3fmcat%3d148203%26menu%3d0%26sku%3d19331032%26page%3d9%26cntry1%3d1%26cid%3d96699&mysid2=2a8bb57e678645438812b40e441e80e9&lstacttm=qvmzzMwzsvNtq2Z86ozUqlQzfgSBmkiViKqunwXZtE0%253d&assortmentid=101&mysid2=2a8bb57e678645438812b40e441e80e9&mcat=148203&lstacttm=qvmzzMwzsvNtq2Z86ozUqlQzfgSBmkiViKqunwXZtE0%253d&menu=0&assortmentid=101&sku=GRP00432&page=9&originurl=%2fshopping%2fitem.aspx%3fmcat%3d148203%26menu%3d0%26sku%3d19331032%26page%3d8%26cntry1%3d1%26cid%3d96699&cntry1=1&cid=96699

1/2 a carat is pretty good enough for a diamond earring. Don’t look good if it is too big for a earring.
Maybe you can give her a credit card and let her buy something she like if you don’t mind how much to spend. (just kidding)
Actually it is not the matter of the size of a diamond, it is the thought. I’ll be very glad if anyone send me a card or a text message on my birthday.
You know better what to do. Good luck.
I am assuming that you mean 1/2 carat stud earrings which make two 1/4 carat diamonds. The average size for stud earrings are either 1/4 or 1/3 carat. 1/2 is actually a bit bigger, but not gaudy and can run from 500 to 1000. The next size up would be 3/4 of a carat which can start out at about 1000 dollars, and 2000 is not unheard of for certified top notch.
If you are going out and buying gifts of those nature and size, and she is telling you that is not good enough, then you are in for a world of financial and personal hurt. Jewelry is about the thought behind it and not what you can afford.
If this is the indicator of what is going to happen, then perhaps you should re-evaluate your choice in girlfriends before she tells you that your engagement ring is not enough.
