Vendors of K Colored Stones

[snuggles1]

Hello all, I''m continuing a long search for yellow gold bezel studs with K, L, or M colored stones and would like to do this before I go back go grad school in the fall. I''m having a difficult time finding stones, and having some disappointing experiences with various vendors. I''m looking for 0.75ctw. Does anyone have vendors they would recommend working with for these colors and sizes? Thanks!

There are quite a few PSers who enjoy coloured diamonds, so I''m sure you''ll get some good suggestions. Are you looking for round stones? From my own experience, I got a very beautiful M coloured stone from Diamonds by Lauren (a pear though, not a round). David can usually find stones to fit your specs if they aren''t listed on the site.

Good luck with your search - hope you find your studs asap.

Have you tried High Performance Diamonds? They sell K, L, M coloured stones too. Call and/ or email Wink if you don't see what you're loooking for on their website.

Thanks for the suggestion. I emailed with Wink in the summer regarding something closer to an M, N, O but he said it's really difficult to find for the size. I've looked through the site, but I see some great stones I'd like for a pendant or maybe if I had to get another RING

but no pairs for earrings that are small enough for my ears

Thanks! I''m looking for round stones that are well cut. I''ll look around on the site. I''m trying to stay away from the term "fancy colors" and just want a warm white. I asked about this way, way, way, back on a thread at the beginning of my search. It''s all quite interesting why we can''t find too many colors classified as M or Q or even Z.

I have seen K colors at Good Old Gold, Whiteflash, High Performance Diamonds (aso carried L/M), and Brain Gavin Diamonds.

Right now the only vendor of those who has something you are looking for is BGD, and they have two pairs that seem perfect!

This pair is a tad smaller than you want:

AGS-1040366640045 Brian Gavin H&A 0.335 K VS2 57.1 61.3 $370.00
AGS-1040366640041 Brian Gavin H&A 0.328 K VS2 55.4 61.7 $355.00

And this pair is a little larger (there are actually a few in this size):

AGS-1040366640090 Brian Gavin H&A 0.412 K SI1 56.1 61.5 $495.00
AGS-1040366640086 Brian Gavin H&A 0.41 K SI1 57.3 61 $495.00

www.briangavindiamonds.com and then click the blog, then the link at the right for current diamond inventory.

I looked at these! I considered the .41''s but they are too large for my earlobes! I have small earlobes. I can''t even fit a second hole on my ear if I tried.

There was one stone I didn''t quite like. I''m sure it''s a fantastic stone, but something about it isn''t quite for me. It''s like getting a haircut that looks great on Reese Witherspoon, but looks terrible on my head. I don''t know if I should post it here. Maybe I''m crazy and looking for something that feels like me. This is when I feel like I need the support. Haha

BGD seemed to have K''s in those sizes specifically for studs. If they don''t have any right now you might email and ask if they are getting a new shipment in soon.

Ditto.

Well, you want something *very* specific then, so I think your only option is to call the vendors that carry those colors and tell them what you ant and then wait for them to get them in!

The .33''s I posted will be only hundreths of a mm smaller than the .37s you are ideally looking for, FWIW.

These are my studs from Brian Gavin as mentioned from the ladies above, I highly recommend them and I have small earlobes. The size that I have are .315ct each... Hope this helps. My studs are J color just for reference but a K would probably look similar Not drastic color difference from these at all.
ETA: My pictures do not do the diamond justice. they are much "whiter" in person and sparkly

and just amazing

Beautiful photos! I am seriously jealous.

I still want bezels but my customer service experience with BGD has left me feeling unsure about using them as everyone else''s experience with them replying quickly was NOT what I experienced. And something that was mentioned to me over the phone had really turned me off---something about not sure if I was serious...or something. I''m looking at different vendors as I realize I should not just focus on one vendor anymore and if I go back in the future and buy from BGD, then I will and I hope the experience is better as I believe that people have a "off days," but in the meantime I think it''s better to take my time.

Thanks again to everyone for all your help.

aww snuggles, I''m sorry that you didn''t have that steller customer service from the. I also recommend you check out Whiteflash as well their prices are pretty similar and they can have yellow gold made as well. I have had diamonds from both places and think they are all on par with each other. Good luck.

I had a little delay with communications from Lesely, but I think that was partly due to the time of year.

I ended up going with WF for my earrings b/c they offered me the best deal. Sheerah is amazing there. Try giving her a call!
