Hi, I’ve been searching online for a certified pair of round lab diamonds by using the WhiteFlash “a cut above” stats. However, I’m still confused as to which diamonds are better picks? I’d like to avoid blue/brown tints and am hoping to get as clear as I can. My budget is $500-$600 for ideally 1.25-1.5 ctw. I’m fine either buying just the stones to set later or paying extra for earring settings by the retailer. I don’t need top of the line as I will wear these daily, including while exercising, etc but would like as much fire and sparkle as possible! Have found some on Adiamor and Loose Grown Diamonds, but how do I actually choose a pair?

Hello, maiyen!
I've found some great options for you to take a look at...twin 0.64 for under $200 each.

If you want to increase carat weight, then you can push at or slightly over 0.90 probably even 1.00 carat each for $300 per diamond.
Any idea what CTW you'd ideal like, if you could pick a set value?

Would love to see the options you’ve found, thank you! I could possibly bump it up to .90 or 1.00 if it’s not much more. This will be my first pair of diamond earrings so I’d rather not go bigger than 2.00 ctw.
 
Would love to know if this a great deal for the diamond advertised? Looking for an elongated cushion 1.5 ct ideally less than $500

Here you go!
Search the grading report numbers at sites like LooseGrownDiamond, Adiamor, DreamStone, Ritani, Brilliance, 77Diamonds, etc to compare pricing and then request price matches with whichever seller you choose to buy from.

0.7x range:

Around 0.9 range:

1.1x range:

Thank you! I just tried to request a price match for LG658498066 (listed under 0.7x range) but it's been sold. Would you mind steering me to a different .72-.73 that has similar stats?
 
Sorry, I posted the wrong number. It's LG659443814 that is out of stock.
 
Here are some great matches to 8066:


Thank you, DejaWiz! I'm still trying to figure out where to get the stones price matched because earring settings really vary in price from store to store. At one retailer, the setting and backs are more expensive than the diamonds. I want guardian backs, unless I can add them later.

On that note, are Alex Parks uncertified stud earring sets risky or a good buy due to the lower purchase price? Not sure if certified is the way to go in this situation.
 
I think Alex Park will get you certified studs, if you want them. But I don’t know if he will allow for you to picky about the angles.

As far as the settings, I think Loosegrown does decent settings. Pretty sure Ritani does good settings. Don’t worry about getting the lowest price on each item. Just get a decent price on solid stones and settings that feel secure.
 
Okay, I was able to place an order for two of the labs in the .70 range. Thanks again for your help, DejaWiz and friends...it's most appreciated!
