No the diamonds were 1.19 each..there were no clusters.. Just studs..
Does this sound possible for around 1600-2000?
If the diamonds were 1.19 each, the carat total weight (ctw) of the studs would be 2.38. Look up 2.38 ctw studs on BN and you'll see they are well over $2000.
A single 1.19 carat diamond, graded G SI1 would cost you in the neighborhood of $4500. That's just for ONE of the diamonds.
Also, if a jeweler tells you a stone is G SI1, but it isn't certified, then trust me, it isn't G SI1. Like Ellen said, you should definitely look into having those independently appraised if you purchase them.
But I agree with everyone else - this looks way too good to be true.
FYI, my fiance's 0.86 ctw H-VS2 (AGS graded) studs were $1900. Now consider that your prosective studs are 2.38 ctw.
