I've been debating whether to reset the Lightbox 0.88ct diamonds into a pair of studs. Here is my delimma and this feels like a first world problem, as most PS delimmas are!
I was allergic to most settings, however lately it seems like I am not allergic to 18kt yellow gold or platinum settings. I prefer to get platinum settings for diamond studs vs. yellow gold. I need to wear my platinum studs a bit more to confirm.
Originally, I was considering 3tcw (1.5ct each) because I like that size and presence.
DH expressed that I should wait to have him buy the studs for me, and that he may buy earth mined diamonds for a special milestone occasion.
I'm concerned about wearing large, earth diamonds as earrings as I lose most earrings. I figured if I lost the Lightbox studs it wouldn't be as big of a deal, recognizing they are still not cheap as they would be about $2K after resetting with platinum. I would be compromising on size to balance value, but I think each 0.88ct would face up similarly to a 1ct.
I don't think DH would go through the steps of buying the Lightbox diamond pendants and getting them reset, he'd rather just buy finished goods. I was thinking of doing this project myself as a "I love myself" gift, but I think DH likes to be the one to spoil me when it comes to diamonds. My BFF and others also prefer to let their DHs buy the sparklies.
Thoughts on my delimma?
