Hi sydney and welcome.

if you click on this link diamondseeker started a poll with 4 sets that she has found that are about the same size and specs that you''re thinking. prices are included.

Wow, I was thinking we were looking for exactly the same thing, and then I saw MrsSalvo directed you to my post! Looks like I need to hurry up and pick my pair! But once I do, I''ll be glad to share with you where all the other sets come from! As you can see, the $5000 range is what you''ll be looking at.

Hi, Sydney, I should have said welcome last time!!! You will love PS because it will really help you get great diamonds!

I plan to do it this week, hopefully today or tomorrow. I was tied up too late yesterday to be able to reach anyone. But I''ll let you know which ones I am getting and where the others are. Honestly, I spent a lot of time searching for ideal cut H VS2 pairs, so I would love it if the info could help someone else!

Hi diamondseeker,

Did you get your earrings in the end?

I picked out a pair of H&A earrings already, but am a little worried about the price, whether i''m paying too much...

I''ve seen pics of the stones and brilliancescope images, the stones are very pretty. I was concerned about the fluorescence of one of them but the light performance on it was very high for white, coloured light and scintillation
