hello all!
first of all, you guys have been really helpful in getting our engagement ring! thanks so much!
now, we have a small budget of usd 700.
we are looking for a pair of diamond studs to match the engagement ring.
can you guys help to find me a pair of nice rocks, with our small budget?
for earrings, we don’t mind warmer stone, as long as they are of nice cut, and blink to match her ring (WF ACA 1c G, VS2)! can we get 0.3c up?
i had good experience with WF for the e ring, but we don’t mind exploring other vendors.
appreciate any help!
 
You want .3c for each diamond (meaning .6 ctw) or .3 total? And is the $700 for only the diamonds or the diamonds + settings?

For .6ctw, maybe consider pre-owned diamonds studs. Don't know if these have documentation or what their cut quality is, but if you just want a pair of shiny, largeish stones this fits your budget (under $700 for diamond + setting). :)

Whiteflash don’t have diamond pairs listed below $1200 and about 0.6ctw but I guess you could ask them if they can supply stones for your budget? They’d probably be pretty small though.

ID jewellery are often mentioned as being great at working within budgets, maybe call them and ask for Pricescope quality stones?

Those are I1 clarity, good cut only, I’d pass, to be honest.

This. Honestly, if I had to choose between the BlueNile ones you posted and the pre-owned ones I posted, I would definitely choose the pre-owned. .1ctw larger, SI clarity, and the cut would probably be about the same.
 
It's too bad that the 25% off sale just ended on James Allen's pre-set jewelry. I would've suggested ordering these:

or these:
https://www.jamesallen.com/fine-jew...-brilliant-diamond-earrings-050-ctw-item-9660

Unlike Blue nile, James Allen uses SI clarity and excellent cut diamonds in their pre-set collections. Maybe not the best parameters within the Excellent cut range (I'm sure a lot of the diamonds in their pre-set jewelry are right on the edge of excellent) but would still look nice for the price.

Maybe wait until the next 25% off sale on James Allen? :mrgreen:
 
I'm not finding anything amazing at this price point, and certainly nothing that will be on par with your ACA. Everything I'm finding down to J color would be twice the budget.

How about a cluster earring?

Like PP suggest, I'd reach out to IDJewelery.

The .5 ctw studs from ID Jewelry look great (and I think you could trust that their selection regarding cut quality would be decent). $100 over budget, but if the budget is slightly flexible this looks like your best option to get close to .3 carat per diamond (given that the JA sale is over).
 
thanks all again. i think we can stretch abit to consider the ID jewelry. i will write to them.
seems like a dumb question, do i need to ask them for the specs of the stone, as well as the images?

I bought my diamond studs from ID Jewelry, all over the phone and email, super great to work with. Taking Ringo's suggestion on my thread and asked for pricescope quality think it was worth the extra money, they sparkle like mad, and it was only about 75$more than whats listed on the website. Highly reccomend you call. :)
