If anyone can recommend which ones I should buy & why I would greatly thank you.

NY, are these earrings for you, or are you looking to buy for someone else? If for someone else, did they specifically ask for this style?

Read up on diamond education here on the forums and rethink your choice. You could do so much better with some beautiful solitaire earrings!

 

[NewYawker]

@msop04, they are for me.

@AprilBaby Either one of these is the one's I want though.


Which one's would be best? Any idea?

Invisible settings are PITB...soon or later the stones will pop out.

If you're dead set on this style of earring despite the warnings given I would see which jeweler has a workmanship warranty if either of them do). This way if you lose any stones they will replace them or repair.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Honestly if you really like that style of earring I would save my money and get these, http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamond-earrings/fashion/square-honey-comb-18k-white-gold-5812w18
These are as high quality as they get and they are pave which is much more durable than the invisible set. They are a smaller carat weight but much much higher quality and would out sparkle the ones you linked by many times over.

Those are MUCH better.

They both have the same warranty coverage.
Are the diamonds the same on both earrings? (I'm not interested in if it's 14k or 10k to be honest)
Just would like to know which one's of the two I posted are better & why they would be better.

I'm going to pass on that. Thanks though, Just trying to get 1 of the 2 I posted.

Please don't I believe a small pair o princess cut solitaires would be so beautiful. Thes look like cufflinks to me I am so sorry but I would not be interested in earrings like this. Sorry to be blunt.. Why having a nice budget would you buy 10K. The Brian Gavin suggested earrings are a nice option.

LOL but i'm really not asking if people are interested in them or not.
I just need someone with knowledge to tell me which one of the 2 are better and why.

I am not looking to buy another pair of earring. I am only interested in these two.

HI:

Have you tried them on? Which appealed to you more?

cheers--Sharon

 

[heididdl]

I think that it is your decision as it seems that my H opinion is that neither looks like it is worth the money. 10K for checkerboard stoned earrings that might fall out is something that may not be a good investment for me.

So you really have to decide on your own.IT is a lot of money to spend on stones that are nothing special and for that kind of money you just have to select the one you like the best.

No, they are online.
Do you know which are best?

I agree with heididdl... that's a lot of money to spend for a cheap look. However, people like different things, so if you truly want that style, just go to the mall (Sears, JCPenney, or one of the small, mobile stations located in the center walkway) and spend way less. The fact is... it's just not a style that's offered by nice jewelers.

If you are determined to buy one of the two you listed, go with the less expensive pair or flip a coin.

EDIT: I see they're the same price... go with which ever vendor offers the best return/exchange/upgrade/damage/repair policy.

Thannks for having my back. that $900 would be me the IDJ jackets for my studs I'm dying for so its hard for me to select one of these two "pave" diamond studs.

If you love them get them but personally I'd like to try them first . In terms of which is better evidentally no one here is willing to even vventure a guess....

HI:

No sorry. Like you have not seen them IRL and therefore, like you, I'd be guessing.

What is their return policy?

cheers--Sharon

 

[NewYawker]

Both have the same return policy.

I give up. Lol. All I did was ask a simple question on which one's are better.
I guess no help here. Well if anyone just wants to give me a REAL answer to my "QUESTION" then please reply.

(I am not looking for any other earrings what so ever, only want one of the 2 posted)

Which one of the 2 are best was the simple question. Simple answer was 1 or 2. Didn't ask "which one would you get?" LOL
Thanks.

 

[heididdl]

The simple answer is I wouldn't buy either....and waste my money
