Hi everybody, I stumbled upon this website while doing some research on diamond stud earrings. I'm looking to buy diamond stud earrings for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day (she's been wanting a new pair ever since she lost one of the earrings of her old pair) and I was originally going to stop by my local mall and look at diamond earrings there but then I had a faint recollection of all the random negative things that I've heard regarding jewelers such as Kay's, Zale's, Gordon's, etc so I started looking around online and found Pricescope by chance.
From what I've seen, the majority of people here have questions regarding engagement rings and I wasn't able to find much regarding diamond earrings. I was looking through the featured dealers area of PS and settled on earrings from either Union Diamond and Since 1910, which both seem to be reputable and have positive reviews. I would like to have some of your opinions please regarding both the two companies and the following two earrings:
Union Diamond:

$899

Carat Weight: 0.50

Setting Type: (Four) Prong Set
Since 1910:

$740 (plus tax since I'm in New York)
Metal Type: Platinum

Diamond Cut: Round
Diamond Color: G
Diamond Clarity: SI2
Setting Type: Four Prong
Thanks in advance.
