Just bought yellow diamond studs

Im cross posting from "Diamond Research" since my post was not moved. Here is my original post.

Hi new member here.

I just bought enhanced yellow diamond stud earings .3 cttw SI G with 14k white gold setting with screw on backs. I paid 975 after tax. Did I pay too much?

Thanks

You likely paid a full retail price if you bought them new from a retailer. We would not be able to estimate value unless the diamonds were certified, and then we could show you comps. But I don't think GIA will certify enhanced stones, so it would be pretty impossible for us to help you. Your best bet would be to get an independent appraisal if you are concerned about overpaying.

Yes, you probably did pay too much...sorry to say.

Here's a pair for a few hundred less ($649) and these are not enhanced:

Great finds MC and DS! I have to say I agree. First I'm not a big fan of enhancements and 1k on .33ctw earrings that are enhanced sounds overboard to me. I would definitely return them.
