Hi all! I have lurked for years...and so enjoyed learning and admiring everyone’s beautiful jewelry and have been so impressed with the community here 
. I’m finally posting my own thread for the first time with a request for assistance (hope that is ok!).
Here’s the situation - my hisband bought me a pair of diamond stud earrings over 6 years ago and i very much treasured them. They were from a local jeweler, i never saw any specs so I don’t know if they were any good but they sparkled and i loved them. He paid approx $3k for them which was certainly way more than we could afford at the time. Fast forward a few years later and we were having some significanr financial challenges just a few weeks before giving birth to our third child, and it was Christmas time, so I needed cash more than I needed the earrings. I sold them at a local shop that sells fabulous vintage jewelry and upscale preowned watches. I did not tell him because I didnt want him to tell me to not do it. Several weeks after christmas I reached out to the store ro see if they still had them and would possibly hold them for me while I made payments and they were unfortunately already sold
I can’t say I regret the decision because I felt steongly that it was the right thing to do at that time for my family, but I promised myself that when the time came and our finances were better I would save up some $ and buy myself a new pair.
So sorry this is so long - anyway, what I’m looking to find is a pair of well cut (sparkly) round diamond stud earrings in a 6 prong basket setting - 1-1.25 ttotal carat weight - and most importantly for a reasonable price. I’ve saved up a little bit of money but not alot and because this is a re-purchase of sorts I would like to spend wisely. I’m open to preloved if anyone were to point me in the direction or I’m looking for suggestions on where to buy to meet those specs...
If anyone has stuck with my lengthy post to this point I so greatly appreciate it! Thanks for any suggestions and help
