Diamond studs budget

[FinleysMom]

I am in the market for a nice pair...however, my budget is $600 and less. I don't expect TOL but I do want .5 TCW for everyday wearing. Where to start looking? I did purchase a nice ring wrap with trillions from a very nice jeweler about 5 years ago. He matched them to my solitaire specs. However...I am concerned about being embarrassed about my lower budget for diamond studs so I have not talked to him.......I guess that I don't exoect to find these under $1500 at his shop.
( independent jeweler) Is this realistic?

That might be tough. Why dont you ask him whats the biggest you can get in your budget? Tell him the lowest color you can tolerate (J/K?)
and SI eye-clean.

You can also contact Yuketiel at ID Jeweley. I think you are looking at a lot smaller than .5 ctw though.

You can also look at diamondbistro and loupetroop to see if you can find a second hand pair. I think diamondbistro has a pair in your budget.
