First thanks to everyone here who has helped out! I think I have finally found a decent set of earrings.

weight 2.01 2.03
color I J
clarity SI2 SI1
depth 61.40% 60.80%
table 56.10% 58.10%
crown 34.10% 34.50%
pavilion 40.80% 40.80%
price 12,099 12,200

Everything seems to look OK. I just wondering how much I should negotiate on price? This price is inclusive of cc charge fee.

I would upload pictures, but the file limit wont allow.

Thanks in advance!

sc, I don''t know if you are the gal who''s going to wear these, or the guy buying them from her, so I just want to throw this out here. Many of us on the board have worn both basket set, and martini set studs. There are a large majority of us who prefer the martini style, as they sit so much better on the ear. Baskets tend to droop, no matter what size the stone is. My first set were only .45 each, and yet they still wanted to droop. The martini sits so much better on the ear, NO drooping.

With stones this size, gravity will definitely play a part in how they will want to sit. I would highly recommend considering the martini setting. And come to think of it, in this size, these would look absolutely fantastic! (if you do a search on here, there are a few threads with these in them, gorgeous)

As for the stones, the IS looks good, they should be very sparkly, and BIG!
