Studs-Size as compared to the other qualities

MarkMark Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 2/24/2006 Member Since: 2/8/2006	First off, great site, great info. I guess you really don't know how little you really know untill you start to do some research. I am in the market to buy a set of stud earings for my wife. Budget around $3000. Prefer a princess cut. Around 1 ct total weigth. I am having a hard time trying to determine if I should give up a bit in color and clarity in order to get a larger size. If these are hanging on my wifes ears, will anyone really be able to tell if it is an I or G? VS1 or VS2? I started to go the Blue Nile route, but from the boards it seems I could do a bit better with some of the other etailers mentioned here. ALthough i want good value for my money, I don't necessarily need to make this a quest for the holy grail. Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated

Tacori E-ring Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,087 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2005	First of all $3,000 is a great budget. You could get even larger than 1 ctw if you wanted. I got my studs from ashford.com and I love them. The prices are great. I chose G/VS but you could easily go to I/SI. They have some 1 ctw listed in WG for $1,675. Also, White Flash is a popular favorite here. I have never ordered from them but I just sent my FFIL there for some studs for v-day for my FMIL. I have yet to see them but he said they were beautiful. Good luch with your search.
