Costco 1.45 cttw hoops on sale!

[wildcat03]

I just wanted to post this and share it with anyone who might be interested. The Costco shared prong hoops are currently marked down from 1999 to 1699. I've read/heard good things about Costco jewelry/diamonds in general and these hoops in particular. Sadly, it's not the right time for me to buy them but I hope someone will take advantage! The tcw is 1.45 and they are 5/8ths of an inch and have 5 stones in each hoop. The price is good until 11/30, but supplies are limited (they were out of these hoops a couple months ago)

Ooh nice price and lovely earrings! I've heard good things about their hoops too…I love visiting the jewelry counter every time I go to Costco.

I could kiss you right now, wildcat03!!!

I've been wanting hoops like these, and was hoping they would go on sale at Costci! $1500 is about what I paid a few years ago for 1.5ctw for my mom, but no PS vendor is selling them that low anymore! Costco was my best chance at getting them at a lower pricepoint. I can take advantage of buying online, and returning in store, and it will be nice to compare them to my mom's from IDJ.

Wait - bad Wildcat03! You just enabled me to drop $1846.61 in a matter of minutes!

 

[junebug17]

Oh Pintobean, I'm excited for you! Please post pics if you end up getting them!

 

[PintoBean]

I am excited to do a compare and contrast with the IDJ hoops!

Ooh if you get these Andelain please post ear pics!


Pinto, looking forward to hearing and seeing your assessment.

 

[wildcat03]

pintobean - you're welcome/I'm sorry! Very much looking forward to your comparison thread on them!!!!

Can't wait to see ear pics of these earrings. I recently purchased 2 carat total weight huggies from local jeweler and love them. I am sure the Costco pair will be beautiful. Always admire their jewelry when I go to shop. And I know they have a great reputation for their stones. I was not aware that they sold huggie style earrings.

I'm excited at the prospect of seeing some ear pics in this thread!

 

[wildcat03]

So, a surprise retroactive pay raise that showed up in my bank account and a talk with Mom about Christmas means that these are an early Christmas gift!!! So excited!!!

 

[jerichosmom]

I had a pair of these years ago and ended up returning them to Costco. Not because they weren't beautiful, but because I used the money to get my hubby a gift instead. Ever since then, I've stalked then online thinking one day I would get them again. Just FYI, I priced out a 2 ct pair from IDJ (PS quality) and the price was around $1000 more than the 1.45 ct Costco pair is so this is a good buy. I love Costco!

 

[Andelain]

If only the YG ones were on sale......

 

[Andelain]

Look what else they have on sale!

Oh I wish they had the diamond hoops I am looking for because these are great prices and a great return policy just in case.

We need pics in this thread!

 

[16ocean]

can't wait to see the photos and the comparison . . . . they look like they would be great every day earrings

 

[hoover]

I'm eagerly waiting for the pics too!

I had no idea Costco sold earring jackets...

They have a pretty wide range of sizes available and the price seems decent. If only they sold these on the Canadian Costco site

ETA - they sell jackets on the Canadian site!

Hmm... Christmas is coming... (sorry! Thread jack over)

 

[wildcat03]

My costco hoops are supposed to arrive tomorrow night. So excited to try them on!

 

[PintoBean]

This is the best I can do for now with pics until my lens comes for my iPhone/iPad

[Mayk]

We need ear shots! Goodness I'm stalking this thread!

 

[luv2sparkle]

I was thinking of getting a pair! Cant wait to see the earshot!

 

[Andelain]

What do you think of the diamonds?

 

[wildcat03]

I am running out the door, so can't type too much. The diamonds are clean and very sparkly to me. I will openly admit that I do not own any ACA/CBI/BGD diamonds. I have a pair of GIA G color studs and next to those, the diamonds seem just as white. I had them delivered to my local UPS as I was at work all day. When I picked them up I opened them in the car and they threw off colors left and right despite the fact that it was fairly dark in the car. I will loupe them tomorrow and report. Here is my quick ear shot (it is semi-dark in the room - lights are recessed and on dimmers).

 

[Queenie60]

Wow. Those look pretty nice. Great price too.

 

[PintoBean]

What do you think of the diamonds?

Hard to tell now because it's night time and my high hats in the kitchen are LEDs so they definitely sparkled lolol.

 

[Rockinruby]

Wow! They look great! I'm interested in more feedback & photos too! These seem like a great deal!
