Diamond Studs

Jenga019 Rough Rock Total Posts: 52 Last Post: 2/10/2005 Member Since: 3/2/2004	My friend is looking to buy a pair of diamond stud earrings. She only wants to spend $150 dollars on them. She found 1/2 carat diamond studs at Superjeweler.com. Here is the link: http://www.superjeweler.com/UserArea/ItemDetail/showDetail.asp?jwlKey=344 Is there better deals out there for this? This seems really cheap. Any suggestions on where we can find a better buy?

I mean, there is no information on colour and clarity, much less basic information about the diamond cut. I'd be super cautious about Superjeweler. With only $150 to spend, what is the minimum size she is looking for?

Take a pair of diamonds cut so badly cut they look like a pair of .30tw (still weighting .50tw but are cut so deep they look like you bought .30tw from the top view ) Then as you glance at two dead stones that look like somebody took a shot gun to them you notice a different color , you can only describe it as close to the color of fried monkey spit. Yes, you can boast to your friends on what a great deal you got , as they laugh behind your back. Remember a diamond is forever and so is ugly! Im not here to rip on another website, but when I see this I feel an urge to make sure the customer does not proceed without precaution.

These are one star diamonds and here is the definition: Promotional Diamonds 1 Star Diamonds are like the regular quality that you would see at the shopping mall jewelers like Zales, Kay, and others. Color is K/L and Clarity is I2

Stones like that can be milky white in appearance due to oodles and oodles of pinpoints. Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! ____________________________________________________________ Just a regular person trying to be helpful. Consult a Pro prior to purchase!

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,802 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	Honestly, for a $150 budget, I'd pass on the diamond earrings and opt for, as suggested, cz studs. I have a VERY minut pair of diamond studs I purchased from ebay seller Lippincott for less than $100, and they're G/H VS, BUT they're less than .20 TCW and too small to actually wear. lol The pair I DO wear are about three times this size.

speakinglurker Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 1/27/2007 Member Since: 12/17/2004	what about a pair of real diamonds where several smaller diamonds are kind of squished together to make it look like one bigger diamond? I've seen a bunch of those where there are 4 princess cut diamonds arranged in a square and it kind of looks like one bigger stone. Just a suggestion...they would probably be cheaper.

Bagpuss Ideal Rock Total Posts: 830 Last Post: 11/27/2005 Member Since: 9/10/2003	I agree - an illusion set pair would probably be better looking studs - better quality and bigger look for the money. Seriously though, $150 for diamond studs is really pushing it if you expect anything worth having. A good quality pair of CZ's or moissanites would probably be a better bet and if she doesn't tell, who'll know the difference? ----------------------------- Bagpuss
