qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,670 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	I saw a pair of inside-out diamond hoop earrings at my jeweler (where DH got my ering). It's 1 3/4 inches in diameter, 1.54 ctw, G-H, VS2 diamonds in 14kt white gold, so the diamonds are maybe 2 pointers. Is $1180 a reasonable price for it? I haven't been able to find something of similar size online to compare prices. It kinda looks like this one from Soloman Brothers, but this one is 1.02 ctw. It doesn't say anything about the length and it looks like the diamonds are bigger, so I am assuming that this one is shorter than the one I saw but then again the picture is blown up. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

I have looked at several in-side out diamond earrings, however, they didn't sparkle . I am so spoiled ... now I want everything to be "ideal cut" because I am comparing them to my wedding and anniversary bands , and I haven't seen anything that sparkles near this. I wonder if those on the solomans bros site is an ok deal or not? How did the diamond earrings at your jewelers sparkle? It will be interesting to see if anyone chimes in with any insight re: in-side out earrings. Have a wonderful weekend! LOVE ... is the Greatest Gift of all!

qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,670 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	The one at my jeweler sparkles a lot. I forgot to ask her about the cut quality, but I think they are at least very good from the well they sparkle. I tried them on and they were the perfect size. I tried on smaller hoops about 1" and 1-1/4" with larger diamonds, but they seems more formal and mature than I want for everyday wear with jeans. I like them a lot. Maybe that reason is enough to get it. I guess since being on PS, I want to get fair deals on jewelry and I thought I would see what other think about the price. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

ETA: here is a pair of 1.54 ctw ones from them and they are $2k! http://www.thefacetscollection.com/item.cfm?item_id=3849 So if the ones at your jeweler sparkle and look pretty and you trust them, then I'd say get those, they are almost 1/2 the cost. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

I think they use premium and ideal cut. http://www.signedpieces.com/item.cfm?item_id=3838 http://www.signedpieces.com/item.cfm?item_id=3849 ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,670 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	I looked at those signed pieces, but their length is short than I like. Since their length are shorter than the one I saw, the diamonds in the ones from signed pieces are bigger. I am thinking it's ~2.5 pointers (signed pieces) vs ~1.5 pointers (my jeweler), so would the price still be comparable? I figure the signed pieces ones are more for the bigger stones. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,936 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Compare with whatever you can find, there are so many versions of hoops out there you may not find EXACTLY the same thing your jeweler has to compare, soat some point you just have to make a decision! Personally I think that 1.54ctw for $1180 is a very good deal if the stones are quality and sparkle. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Hi qtiekiki ~ I was up late looking and looking at sooo many different sites and versions of diamond earrings . Most of the earrings that I was looking at were 1 cttw ... and wayyyy over $1,000.00! You know, if those in-sideout diamond earrings at your jewelers do sparkle and you really like them ... I am thinking you should call up your jeweler, and ask him/her about the color and clarity etc ... and maybe even have them hold them for you, go down take a look ... and Jump on them! I went window licking yesterday, and I couldn't find anything that sparkled for under $2,000.00! "Earring wise". I too would like something that dangles about 1 3/4" - 2" ... so far everything is wayyy out of my budget! I guess I will keep saving, and keep looking. Patience! LOVE ... is the Greatest Gift of all!

qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,670 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	Mrs Darlin Joy - I will call her about the cut quality since I already know the color and clarity. She makes her own jewelry and do custom work, so I think she can always make me a pair if she sell the one I saw. I am going to get them if their cut quality is very good. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

I've been too busy to go back to the jeweler, but now I am finally more settled down. I am so excited. I will post pictures after I get them. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson
