Thought I''d give an update on my engagement ring quest (my previous post, for reference)...
I found the perfect setting at a local jeweler, but it seemed over-priced and I could not find the same setting (or a matching product id) online, to compare pricing. After some great suggestions, I was pointed towards Pearlman''s Jewelers, http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com. They had the exact ring I was looking for, and Bill Pearlman was extremely helpful, straightforward, and not pushy. I was so impressed with his customer service that I had Bill find/order me the center diamond too. His prices for both the ring and the diamond are outstanding! The setting is being made right now, and if all goes well, I should have the completed ring in time for the holidays (and my planned proposal date!).
If anyone is interested, here''s the setting:
And here are the diamond specs:
Round Brilliant
6.80 x 6.85 x 4.21
1.2 ct.
AGS Ideal 0
G
VS2
Flour: Negligible
Now, onto my earring question... I''d like to give my GF a pair of diamond stud earrings for Christmas, but I''d like to keep the cost around (or below) $500. For that price, it seems like I''m looking at some .25 ctw studs. My concern is the size of those diamonds. Does anybody have any pictures or experience with .25 ctw diamond stud earrings? How big/small do they look? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
