I have a heart shaped diamond set in a pendant given to me by my parents when I was a teenager. It is a D, SI1, .27, ex sym/polish, very good cut (very uniform... my parents did really well
). My question is this: how hard would it be to find a diamond similar enough to make a pair of earrings? My boyfriend wants to get me a promise ring, and he came up with the idea to get a matching diamond for the promise ring… when we get the engagement ring, we could make a pair of studs out of them. I thought that was a wonderful idea, and it would mean a lot to me.
I’ve started reading old posts about heart shaped diamonds and have quickly realized that this cut comes in many forms. Is it possible to find one similar enough? I did a search for diamonds online, but most vendors don’t list diamonds that small. I went to the mall and looked around (I know, I am slapping my own wrist). Most didn’t have diamonds that small on hand, but stated they were more than happy to order one. They estimated the stone (DEF, VS2-SI2) to be about $900. I know my parents didn’t pay that much for my first stone. That was, however, 8 years ago. The budget is $1,000 (I’m hoping to get the stone and a simple white gold setting for that). If this isn’t feasible I will probably go with another diamond shape...I’ve been looking at the websites referenced on this site and it has not been difficult coming up with other ideas
.
Thanks in advance! This website is wonderful; I''ve learned SO much!
