Looking for diamond Earrings. please help !!

[samta]

Hey, I am looking to buy diamond earrings and totally confused .

I am looking for 1.50 carat diamonds in total(for both earrings) and confused about the color and clarity.
Should I buy great color i.e. E/F/G/H and go for lower clarity like SI1/SI2 or
Should I buy lower color i.e. H/I and go for higher clarity i.e. VS2/VS1.

please help me to choose right diamond

for earrings I would get I/J SI1 or eyeclean SI2 ACAs from whiteflash or H&A from Brian Gavin Diamonds. They will be white and sparkly as only ideal cuts are, but you can get the best bang for your buck

With well-cut stones, you can easily go down in color and find some great SI1s. The goal is to have sparkle! Mine are F SI1 ACAs from Whiteflash. . .Yesterday I took them in to Ben Bridge to be cleaned and the sales gal said they were much higher quality diamonds than any of her customers have ever purchased! She sat there staring at them and then insisted I hold them with tissue when putting them back in so that I wouldn''t get finger prints on them. Later I went into a clothing store and noticed the sales gal talking to my earrings rather than me!

I do think it''s the great cut that makes them look fabulous. I''d be happy going down to an H/I and think they''d look just as good.

MC''s advice is great. Get the well cut diamonds and go down in color; they will be stunning.

Hi samta and welcome!

Thritto the ladies above! With such a great cut and if the stones are eyeclean you can definitely go for lower colour and clarity.
