Diamond hoops with I2 stones

[champain]

I was hesitant to write about this, but I've been looking for diamond hoops for a few months. I wanted substantial ones, about 1 inch, and not too thin. I found a pair at Herzberg today when I was at the mall getting my hair cut. Although they are I color, I2 clarity, the diamonds are quite sparkly and I really like the way they look on me. Actually, I was surprised to learn about the I2 clarity. I'm on the fence about them. They are 1 ctw and I could never afford these earrings if the diamond quality was better. Was hoping to get some opinions on these and sort this out.

I'm a real flag waver for considering a more relaxed approach to clarity depending on the circumstances, but in this case I would consider further and save for a little while longer.
I've not had direct personal experience with I clarity but my feeling is I would avoid.
Out of interest, which company graded them?

Helzberg diamonds are never a good deal from my experience, even on sale. I'll bet you could get something nicer for not much more $$$ if you look around. And I don't mean look around at the maul.
