My First Post - looking for lab studs

[lhaiat]

Hi - I have been lurking for sometime and have learned a lot by reading many other threads here. I am now ready to purchase diamond studs. I have decided that I will take them over to David Klass when I have received my stones for a beautiful setting that I found on his instagram page. I am looking for around 3.50 cttw F/G color. I am stalking the page of Alex Park and so far the only pair posted has been sold. If anyone comes across some that are from a trustworthy seller please let me know it would be greatly appreciated. And of course when I get the job done I will post it here!
thank you

You can message Alex and ask what he has available (from older posts) and what he may be able to get for you.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, lhaiat!
Are you open to sourcing two loose diamonds to make your own nicely matched set?

Yes i think so as long as you guys think they are good!

We would find nothing short of great
Got a budget cap in mind for the two loose diamonds? Is there any VAT and/or import fees to consider?

 

[lhaiat]

I am in California. Budget is 1500-2000. If it needs to be more pls lmk!

How picky would you like to be with clarity?

I've got some options for you to take a look at. Let me know when you're ready for links so that you can place holds if any of them look like winners to your eyes.

@DejaWiz helped me source 2 pair of 2ctw studs for me to choose from. I had both sent to me. One from WhiteFlash and one from Loose Grown Diamond. Both look beautiful with just a quick look. I'm going to do a more in-depth analysis tomorrow and post videos/photos. Deja and @tyty333 and @Kim N are all great.

Hi thanks so much - which ones do you think are a better pair? When I say “better” I mean go together more from the naked eye.

How do these look to you?
Keep in mind they were each photographed with different lighting conditions in different environments.

those look great except when i click on video the lighting is very different so its hard to really see what they look like. OK - of these 3 pairs which would u put your $$ on?

 

[lhaiat]

I also have another question - Alex Park said that he can source me whatever I want from him. I notice his stones I have seen are CVD not HPHT. From reading your previous posts you lean towards HPHT - correct?

Update - I placed an order tonight. The customer service person offered to make me the setting I was going to ask for from David klass for half the price. Any idea if that’s a good idea?

That's exciting news! Which diamonds did you go with?

 

[lhaiat]

LOVE this setting - the milligrain is beautiful! I have a pair of diamond studs that I'd love to reset like this -- is this a standard setting from DK?

Thank you! Not a standard setting but I told them I wanted the thinnest bezel possible with the stones set very low to the ear and after going back and forth on the CAD this is the result. You can always send them a pic of what you want.
