Hi everyone! I am in need of advice. I currently have 3ctw natural earring studs. They are very nice cut/quality but after 14 years, I am ready to upgrade to larger. Then I stumbled into the world of lab diamonds! Now I would like to upgrade to 6 - 7.99 ctw lab earring studs. I considered James Allen but the prices are steep (and I'm not sure if HPHT is the way to go) so I'm considering Adiamor or B2C Jewels (CVD Type IIa). I'm open to consider other vendors.
Please recommend a pair of matching stones with F/G color, VS1-VVS1 clarity, 3.5 - 3.9 ct each - cut is most important to me. Doesn't have to be hearts and arrows but light return and sparkle is most important. Leaning towards CVD Type IIa (but maybe I'm wrong about favoring it over HPHT). Budget 20-25K.
Thank you in advance!
