Long time lurker but now I’m the market for larger studs (4-5 total carat weight). I have tried on studs at this size at brick and mortar stores and could easily distinguish H vs I ( not well cut though).
Few questions:
I was looking for H vs I with SI1 clarity. Would all ACA studs at this size be eyeclean ?
For paying the ACA premium, will I vs H be discernible at a close distance ? I can tell the difference with less well cut stones.
I am told prices for diamond are currently 10-15 percent higher - any idea if this is expected to taper down by the end of the year ( as the housing market and car market is or so I am reading)?
Has anyone had WF cut diamonds from rough for them ? Either to match an available stone or a pair. How was the process ?
I preferred martini style ( VS 4 prong) - I wear a lot of yellow gold.
Any input with 2-2.5 carat ear studs for setting considerations and metal considerations ? I found the martini setting was comfortable ( I take off my jewelry at night) and the studs didn’t lean forward at all. I like yellow gold but have always read the the diamonds will appear yellowish .
Thanks for any input !
