I haven't purchased a diamond since the engagement ring (20+ years ago), probably didn't do that well either.
Would like to buy the wife diamond stud earrings for Xmas. My budget is around $4,000 but outside that I don't know anything. I have looked at the charts for clarity and color but outside that I am lost.
Thought about going to a chain just so I can get a cash back bonus on my Credit card but I know that is probably not a good place.
I have heard the clarity and color don't need to be as good on earrings because people will now get there eyes as close to them as a ring.
I just get a sick feeling I will get ripped off no matter what I do or decide.
Should I get something with a total weight around 1ct (assuming best quality and color $4k can get). Or get something bigger and relax the quality and color?
Looking for what is best bang for the buck.
I live in Iowa and am willing to drive so if somebody could give me a warm fuzzy on a store that would be great. If that is against forum rules I apologize and please ignore.
Thanks.
