I''m looking to buy a set of earring jackets to fit colored stone studs that are in the 6mm (0.75ct diamond size) range.
Here are some I''ve found:
Whiteflash jackets 0.38ct F/G; VS melee for $699 (their 0.50ct jackets are $950)
Ebay jackets 0.50ct H/SI2 for $425
Amazon jackets 0.50ct GH/I1-2 normally $430...available for $301
Undoubtedly, the best earrings here are the Whiteflash ones. But I wonder if those would be somewhat wasted on me? I have an LOGR pendant with H/SI diamonds and I''m pleased with those. I''d prefer to stay under $450 for a pair, but I don''t know if those expectations are unrealistic. I wish the ebay ones came from a regular jeweler website, and I''m afraid that the Amazon ones will look like frozen spit, but I don''t know if my diamond eye is really attuned enough to be able to see it in earring jacket melee.
Basically, I''m looking for recommendations concerning the level of melee I need, other recommended vendors who would have good jackets in my price range, etc. All help is appreciated!
