Diamond search -- help needed!

[mishelly]

Hi everyone,
I''m looking to create a ring with similar sized diamonds as my wedding band, for my right hand. My wedding band diamonds are tiny OMC''s, and the appraisal lists them as ".03ct". I cannot seem to make the search engine above (on the PS site) work to search for such small sized RB diamonds! Any advice? Are there specific online vendors I should consider?

Also, for RB diamonds this small, what are the important factors I should consider, and what is not really as important at this small size? I know cut is #1, but is clarity all that important at this size? What I''d love is a nice white gold band with 5 or so small but mighty sparkly diamonds in it.

And as far as cost goes, finding 5 .03ct diamonds should cost me...how much per diamond?!? I''ve no clue!
I''d love any advice/tips
Thanks!

Michelle

I think what you are looking for is a pave or shared prong band. They are relatively easy to find, you could start with whiteflash to start or maybe Pearlman's because they carry a lot of different styles. I will try to find some links for you to start you off.

OMC melee? probably not

You can get single cuts.
Here is Dimend Scaasi's eternity band, I'm sure they'll make a 5 stone for you: http://www.dimendscaasi.com/wedding/forHer/pages/Rose1.asp Leon Mege does, too.

I believe it is more expensive than full cut stones.

Thanks for the advice--yes single cuts are likely what I''d be looking for. I''ll explore the links
