Hello everybody,
I've been reading your forum on and off for years. I've learned a bit and enjoyed looking at some fabulous pictures of fine jewels and beautiful pieces. Now I've got a question and I'm hoping people here can steer me in the right direction.
I'm having some earrings re-worked. I bought them because their style and setting perfectly matches a bracelet I already own. I bought them knowing that the diamonds were really bad (I2) and I intended to replace them eventually. Now it's time.
What I need is a matched lot of 24 round stones, 2mm each. I want good quality stones -- SI1-VS2, G and above -- as the entire point of having them reworked is to get rid of the dull, lifeless diamonds in them now.
The problem I'm running into is that all of the regular online diamond merchants I'm familiar with from reading PriceScope don't tend to deal in anything that small. I think I'm looking for something around 0.035 carat and I'm not seeing much out there that's smaller than .25 or .3 carat.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
