My wife just gave birth to our first baby (a boy) about six weeks ago (November 17, 2004) and her birthday is also this month (January). I would like to get her a pair of round diamond stud earrings in a white gold setting to celebrate both these events.
Being a diamond novice (her engagement ring is 1 ctw diamond platinum setting that is a family heirloom and thus I have not had to wade into this process yet - the level of detail for diamond purchasing is staggering!)--
I would very much appreciate the experts (as well any any novices) in this forum giving me any assistance you can as to what specifications (4 Cs and all other detail -- but I want the best cut as possible since that appears based on my reading to be one of the most important factors) as well as prong settings and best type of backing I should look for in purchasing the best pair of studs for my budget -- which is approximately $1500-2000.
I am not adverse to purchasing online, so any suggestions as to dealers would also be very welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
