Help with lab diamond earring studs

[BarbieJ23]

Good evening everyone,

I am very interested in finding a pair of approximately 2.0-2.2 ctw round lab grown studs for every day wear. I admittedly have little to no experience in what makes a "good diamond" but do know I love sparkle and fire! I'm open to colors and would prefer an eye clean stone, so maybe a bit higher clarity? A friend mentioned this forum and suggested it as a place that I might find help in finding a pair of studs for me! Would prefer to keep budget less than $2500 if possible, but am open to higher if there is a particularly nice pair of stones.

I've read a bit throughout the forum, so would love to hear from any thoughts @DejaWiz @Kim N or anyone else who would love to chime in to help me in my search!

Many thanks to everyone in advance, appreciate you all taking the time to help

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, BarbieJ23!

Quick question: does the $2500 budget include the stud settings or just the loose diamonds?

Hi @DejaWiz!

Great question, sorry I didn't specify. I'd like that price to include the setting too if possible. Thanks!

Metal and color, just so I can ballpark that part of the budget?

I'm getting ready to post two D color diamonds with H&A designation on their reports...are you ready to pounce?

Thank you for finding and posting these...the sparkle factor is just wow!! While these are exceptionally beautiful, I fear that they're a bit bigger than I'd like for daily wear, I have somewhat small earlobes and don't want these to look....too big if you will. I think I'd like to keep size around 1.0-1.1 carat per ear (total of 2.2 ctw max) if possible.

How about one of these pairs?

I think you should strongly reconsider those two H&A diamonds...there is about a 12% difference in total surface area between 1.10 and 1.34






If you want to stick with 2-2.2 ctw, then here are some more to consider a long with the great options that Kim N provided.

Consider it reconsidered. Having the side by side of the size greatly helped see what you were saying where the difference just isn’t as much as I expected in my mind. I just purchased the original pair you suggested! Thank you for all your help, I can’t wait to see them in person!!

Thank you @Kim N for posting those beautiful earrings as well. This is a wonderful community, appreciate everyone’s help!
