This is my first post here,I´ve been reading a lot of posts in the past few days and now I can really need some help!
I´m interested in buying .5cttw diamond stud earrings and was looking into different sites using the vendor list here at pricescope. After looking into bluenile first and realizing that they only guarantee a minimum weight of .46 and a minimum of I and SI in their .5 earrings I decided I wanted to check at other places too. I was looking at the studs at bestgem.com impressed by their offer on .5cttw/E/vvs/vg cut/princess/14k for $750. They also have .5cttw/F-G/vs/vg/round/14k for also $750.
Now that I´ve been searching the posts on information regarding bestgem´s quality and reputation I´m very confused.
DCD seems to be getting great feedback here and I found almost nothing on bestgem. Is there anybody around with some advice concerning the listed studs, the reliabity of bestgem´s gradings (I´ve been reading about EGL being less strict than GIA)? Are the stones too small to really worry about it?
What I want is a pair of sparkly earrings of good quality (any thoughts on chosing between princess or rounds in this respect?).
Thanks in advance!
