    Anyone got any idea about the size of her SSP earrings?

    16mm+ perhaps? They are lovely! I can't wear anything that big, as I have a very round face, and they will stick out too much and make my face appear even wider, not a good look!

    Well, I'd guess smaller than 16+mm, maybe more like 12-13mm. (I have a pearl that is 15+mm, and held it to my ear.) She certainly has the pearly wardrobe! She also seems petite in the photo.

    DK, have you drop shape dangle pearl earrings or earring charms? That might be a flattering look for you.

    My 12mm Tahitians do not cover my earlobes, therefore, hers are likely to be bigger, or her face and earlobes are much smaller than mine!

    I'll post some pics of my Tahitians later. Another great find when I was in HK in 2009. Sadly the shop where I got them and my SSP necklace was shut when I went back there last year. Good job too, otherwise I would not come out empty-handed for sure!

    Dangles and drops don't suit me.

    For studs, I can only wear those with the posts that are in the middle or they would not sit properly on my ears.

    Here are pics of my 12mm and 10mm Tahitian studs on my ear.

    That's why I thought hers may be bigger.
