Hello!
I have been saving for a while and am now planning to buy my first pair of diamond earrings. I've done some research, but reading through some of these posts, I clearly have a lot to learn. I'm hoping some of you can help me get the most sparkle and brilliance I can with my money.
I am looking at round brilliant. I am pretty sensitive to color. However. while I can tell the difference between a D or E white stone and something like a G (my E ring), I am fine with a G because I cannot see yellow. For my earrings, I will go as low in color as possible for a round and still not see yellow. I have read somewhere that I may be able to go to an I, but not sure if I should stick with H to be more sure? Sparkle factor is very important to me, so I don't want to compromise on cut, but may be able to do down in clarity as long as you cannot see any blemishes just by looking at it. What I can't figure out is how do I determine if a SI is eyeclean from the internet? I am looking at about 1.8 tcw. or .9ct each. I would prefer to not go over $8500 including the setting, which I would also love advice on. I'm looking for something comfortable and secure that I can wear all the time and pretty much only take out to clean or for special occasions when I don't need toddler proof earrings.
I would really look forward to some of your expert advice.
Thanks in advance!
