Hi All,
I used to be on here somewhat regularly back in 2015, 2016 when I was getting engaged and married, but then my spending drifted from diamonds to bags so it's been a while since I've posted. I'm starting to get back into diamonds/jewelry again, and I'm itching for some pieces - starting with studs. I already have 0.25 CWT pair of diamond studs (G - H, SI, VS-EX cut) and a 0.50 CWT pair of diamond studs (G - H, SI, VS-EX cut), and I'd like something in the 1ct range for my third holes. I was wondering what folks thought of these: https://ivyandrose.com/products/1-2...mond-stud-earrings-rare-e-f-si2-natural-loose. Would these make good studs?
A few things to note: I'm not necessarily the most discerning of customers. I'm not all that color sensitive, and I've always thought I'm not that clarity sensitive either, as long as stones are eye-clean That being said, I might be a bit more clarity sensitive than I initially thought because I have a pair of .78 CWT studs that are I1, and I'm always a bit annoyed that they don't sparkle like my .25 or .50 CWT studs. If I recall correctly, when I bought them the listing had said the inclusions were white and blended in with the stone nicely, so I thought I'd be ok with them, but I definitely notice a difference compares to my .25 and .50 studs. Because of that, I'm concerned about the SI2-SI3 rating of these stones, but they do way they are eye clean so I wonder if maybe I'd be ok with them?
I'm also very open to other options as well. I'd love to keep it around a $1500-$1700 max budget. I have a lot of learning/re-learning to do about diamonds, so any guidance and advice is appreciated!
