First of all, thanks everyone for the wealth of information here. I''m learning a ton about diamonds and quality.
I want to get my wife diamond stud earrings in a 4 prong screw back platinum setting (expensive setting, I know, but it''s what she likes and she deserves it). I''m prepared to spend up to about $1500 or so, from .50 to .75 total weight.
Whiteflash has their Ready Set Go earrings which I can afford. It seems like the stones are nice.
Not that I''m buying from Blue Nile, but they let you choose your own stones for the earrings if you like. I imagine I could do the same thing with Whiteflash. Whiteflash has more of a selection of smaller diamonds than James Allen is showing.
James Allen has some fairly nice .25 diamonds but the girdles are medium to slightly thick. Does this matter for earrings?
I know these stones are in the smaller range but I''m wondering if it''s worth picking my own stones with a higher rating (in all aspects)?
I feel it will be a little more personalized and to get some bragging rights if I pick the stones myself and the price difference doesn''t seem to be too different
