Hello all!
I have been on the hunt for an antique diamond dormeuse (did I spell that right? Lol) drop earrings that I can wear daily and as far as my search results are concerned my options are limited. My budget is $2k, I suppose that’s why? Here are the two I am looking at. Now I know many of you are far more knowledgeable than regarding value so I am hoping you can give me some insight as to what is the better option:
www.etsy.com
www.jewelsbygrace.com
I know they are both a little different. At first I was really seeking that dark silver oxidized look but I surprisingly think I’m gravitating towards the ones on Etsy; however I am weary of buying fine jewelry on Etsy. Does anyone have any input on that? It looks like the ones on Grace have a heavier diamond weight and I would feel a bit more comfortable purchasing from them since they have such a large cult following and provide more information on their diamonds and pieces.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
