Hello ladies,
I was hoping to get some advice - a few years ago I upgraded my ring and now am deciding what to do with my original stone. I'm leaning towards finding a matching stone and making a nice pair of earrings out of them. my original stone is close to 1.5 I color (not certified). after finding this place a few years ago I realize that it isn't the greatest quality, but is still a very pretty stone - always sparkled. So, how would you go about finding a matching stone? I was considering going to new York (I'm a few hours away) and going to ID Jewelry as I hear they are reasonably priced. Around here the local jewelers seem to charge pretty high prices and I'm trying to not overspend. Any other suggestions? I don't think I'll be able to go the online purchase route as I'd like to match them in size/color as best as possible and I'm assuming looking at stones in person will be the easiest way to do that.
Thanks
