I own a lovely pair of mined diamond studs which I purchased six years ago from IDJ. They’re 1.26 ctw (G/H SI GIA XXX). Visible thread in my profile if anyone is interested.
I have been interested in upgrading for some time, and now that lab grown gems are much more readily available with great cuts, I am looking to go this route.
Which vendors would you recommend for a project like this? Cut is quite important to me (my current pair are are not superideals but they are GIA XXX and well scoring HCA, with proportions that suit earrings as they are a bit shallower)
My budget is in the ~3500 range
