Best 0.4 - 0.49 carat diamonds for earings

[cgsauer]

I am looking for diamonds in the just under 0.50 range for diamond earings.

I have done a lot of searching but only get more confused. I would like to keep the earings around the $1500 range.

Here are some I found - any thoughts or any other diamonds you can find and recommend.

Thank you so much for your help - I''ve gotten overwhelmed with searching for a diamond.

If you''re not interested in upgrading, I''d go with the Ready Set Go earrings from Whiteflash. I think the 0.8 carat weight is right around $1500. They are also well-cut diamonds.

I wanted to keep my options open to upgrading in the future otherwise I would have done the already made earings.

I purchased my wifes E-ring from Whiteflash and would like to work with them again (although the person I''ve emailed has been a bit pushy.

The problem I''m running into is that whiteflash has very few diamonds in this range.

Well, I don''t know if Mondera has an upgrade policy either. I did do a search and Whiteflash didn''t really have anything in your price range. I would check with James Allen if I were you. They have a good upgrade policy and access to a lot of diamonds also.

I like this pair of AGS 0 ones. They are a little over your budget though.

Here''s another pair of AGS 0 ones that are in your budget:

You can also check to see what other diamonds they may have in house.
