Need help finding diamond stud earrings

[SAHM]

I'm looking for at least .8 ctw diamond stud earrings in a three prong martini setting for under $2,000, including tax. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

ID Jewelry can do that for you. Give them a call and let them know that you're looking for "PS quality" diamonds.

I always use WhiteFlash for studs because their stones are so easy to match and their upgrade policy is great. These plus the settings will come right in at your budget!

I agree with Diamond seeker WF although some times more expensive then other ps vendors is has a great upgrade policy and their stones are gorgous and they are great to work with. Have fun studs are so exciting and when they are cut beautifully and sparkle there is nothing else like it

I own 3 pairs of studs from Brian Gavin Diamonds. I'm very pleased with all of them.

Mine are also from BGD, .87ctw, 3 prong martini's and were under $2K (1.5 years ago... but still...) My studs are the BG signature stones - small but powerful! The well cut diamonds really do come off appearing larger than they are. Worth buying the best you can afford.

I just got mie last month. They are .90tcw AGS0 ideal stones, J color. They were set in a 4 prong basket. They came out to $1775. I put them together myself but was able to do so with everything I leaned here and the JA rep. I love them. Good luck

I have BGD studs as well and I absolutely love them. You could check out Whiteflash, BGD, and IDJ. Mine were slightly over $2K but I went with F colored stones and you could probably go lower than that and they'd still be perfectly white.

Thanks to everyone for your input! I especially appreciate the options that some of you provided. It really helps a lot.

Of the options provided by diamondseeker2006 and stargurl78, which would you all go with?

I want to build a pair around this guy: http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.52-carat-J-color-I1-clarity-Excellent-cut-sku-164055

Just not sure what to pair it with, I guess you would have to ask which makes a better pair from an arms length away:

Consider Blue Nile for budgetary reasons. Their settings are frequently less expensive than some other vendors and their inventory is virtual, so their loose stones are a lower price oftentimes. The downside is that BN doesn't have pictures. But their diamonds are beautiful, nad it's possible that you could get bigger stones with BN. I have recently ordered a stud upgrade and the received wisdom was that ideal is fine for studs and that you can't tell a difference between ideal and BN's signature ideal range. BN also has an upgrade policy of receiving 100% credit and having to spend a minimum of the same again, but there are no other restrictions. For example, some PS vendors require that you go up in two categories to get the upgrade, like size and colour.
