@Kim N @DejaWiz, may I ask for your insight once more?
A few weeks ago I purchased a beautiful stone with Kim’s help. Thank you Kim! My plan was to set it into a solitaire. While I looked through settings for inspiration I had a change of heart. I decided I would rather upgrade my studs instead! My current studs are 1.5ctw and I’ve been thinking of a larger pair for some time. The stone I recently purchased is 1.87ct. I thought that size would be much too large for the ears. Well I don’t anymore. lol I’m going to go for it!
Now here comes the tricky part…finding a match! I know it’s much preferable to look for both diamonds at the same time rather than find a match for an existing one.
I’m looking for a well cut HPHT diamond that’s similar in size and color (7.8-7.9mm, D-F). Is that doable with a budget of $1000-1200? I paid a bit more for the one I just purchased so I know I have to be flexible somewhere. So perhaps SI clarity if VS is not an option?
This is the stats on the I recently purchased.
