Last year I purchased a 3-stone platinum engagement ring that was .81 ct, F color, and VS1 clarity, ideal cut. The side stone were .25 ct and matched the color, cut, and clarity of the center stone.
With the wedding two months away, I''m thinking of buiying emerald cut stud earrings as a wedding gift. My questions are: 1) what is a good size to match the ring? I''m thinking .25-.30ct?)? 2) How important is it to match the color, cut, and clarity of the ring? Can I get away with a lower color and clarity on earrings? 3) Is matching the platinum from the ring a must? 4) What do you think an average estimate would be for these earrings?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
