Looking for a pair of diamond studs .75-.90 ctw. I ''m looking for brilliiant earrings, the quality that one typical finds in Tiffany''s but without the pirce. I would definitely favor quality over size. I have been looking at GIA or AGSL certified pairs on Blue Nile. I''m hung up on a couple of issues in terms of wheter it is worth the price difference for earrings. Each area can (or subtract) results in
Color: F, G or even H. Is there much difference in earrings and is it worth the difference?
Clarity is it worth the difference to go with VS1-2 over SI1
Cut: I want Ideal cut, but in earrings is it worth going for the more expensive Blue Nile SIgnature Ideal cut over GIA or AGSL ideal cut stones? All Blue Nile sigangture stones are GIA or AGSL ideal, but supposedly an even finer cut.
Setting: Platinuum vs. 18k white gold. About $150 difference in price. Is it worth difference and how much of an issue is having to have the 18k gold post replated with rhodium?
Thank you
