I´m looking for ~ .5cttw round diamond studs and after quite a bit of research here on pricescope and other sites I´m leaning towards going with dirtcheapdiamonds.
Now here are my questions:
- Which quality do you think they "need" to be sparkly and beautiful, they offer ready matched pairs of G-H/si1 or G-H/vs2plus
I´ve also looked at their inventory of uncertified loose stones and found the following that sound good to me (but I´m really new to this):
"pair" #1) .26/G/vs1/d:59.7/t:59/ex pol, vg symm/4.15x4.19x2.49/med.girdle
.26/G/vs1/58.1/60/ex,vg/4.18x4.21x2.44/med.girdle
#2) .29/G/vs1/60/59/ex,vg/4.30x4.36x2.60/med.girdle
.29/G/vs1/60.7/60/ex,vg/4.26x4.33x2.61/thin
#3) .27/F/si1/60.9/60/ex,vg/4.18x4.21x2.56/med.
.28/F/si1/59.9/59/ex,ex/4.23x4.28x2.55/med.
- Would these make good matching pairs (they would all total around $650plus$100 for the setting, which would be about the same as the highest quality ready matched pairs)? Which would you prefer or should I go with the ready matched earrings?
- Should it bother me that they don´t have certs at this size (my search only came up with one GIA stone in my size/quality range, the others all have no lab reports)?
Thanks in advance!
