OK I admit it I NEED help.

I have 600 US dollars as cash back and I'd like to spend it on jewelry.  I don't know whethor I want a "buy it and done with it" item or one I can upgrade.

JA and WF would let me buy a single diamond and use it as a stud and then upgrade it later.  I have diamond studs but I also have a 2nd hole on one ear so this does work for me.  BUT all three studs would be about the same size.

I don't see the point of buying the "ready set go" bezel studs at BN 'cause they'd be the same size as the studs I already have.  Otherwise I do like them.  BUT my husband thinks they look like wheel spokes and a rim!!!

I don't want a pendant.  I do like the DBTY necklaces and I thought WF did one for  a PSer but I don't see them on their site.  I wouldn't mind it with very small stones but it still might be out of my price range.  And it wouldn't be upgradeable. 

Diamond hoops WF doesn't have any I like.  I do like the .5cttw pave hoops that Bluenile has...

Of course I'd really like a OEC diamond...I like the less standard facet patterns in diamonds.

ANY jewelry suggestions and links will be taken seriously! Diamonds, gemstones etc.

THANKS

How fun!  Is your budget $600 or are you willing to spend a little more?

Well I have 600 USD but I'd be willing to spend a little more like maybe 650 USD.

Does that help?  Also there is the PS discount for unmounted stones which helps.

Thanks

For $600, I'd get a coloured gemstone.  Especially since you already have studs, don't want a pendant and already have a ring.  OECs need to be large enough to be able to see the pattern, otherwise, it'll just look like any other diamond.

Do you have small diamond hoops?

I like these:

THANKS for the suggestions. I thought Pearlman's would be very costly but I must check them out better.

As far as OEC I really want a diamond and that will have to wait.

I have thought about colored stones....but I just am not sure.  Keep the suggestions coming.

I've been on a bracelet buying kick this year so I thought I'd throw that in to the mix for you to consider.

I have a couple that I wear all of the time.  If I had more money though....

But I'd like to spend it before any non jewelry item claims the money.

I think the ACA stud from WF/JA is winning though, I like the idea of being able to upgrade later.  I'd like to work my way up to 1ct tw in studs.  This would be a way to start.

Marcyc I just spent some hours over in colored stones.  LOVE your collection.  Now I'm thinking of Orange or Green if I don't do the diamond stud... Just opening up my options.  I think WF is closed till Monday anyway.
