Diamond studs

da119 · May 3, 2020

1.) I wanted to buy a pair of diamond studs on a very small budget (around $600). I would love .5 ctw bur I’m not sure what I can get for that price. Any advice?

2.) My mom found these earrings that were my grandmother’s. As an alternative, I was thinking of having these made into studs. What do you think I’m looking at here in terms of ctw? Do these diamonds look okay?

(I’m a jewelry lover on a student budget, so I don’t have much experience buying).

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
