Looking For Diamond Stud Earrings

I Have Been Online Forever Looking For A Pair Of Diamond Stud Earrings!

Q:

Hi Liz,

I have been online forever looking for a pair of diamond stud earrings. Can’t seem to narrow down a pair. I’m looking for 0.60 ctw. No larger than 0.70 ctw as I have small lobes. Color H or I. Clarity preferably VS2. I don’t know how to set the parameters for table and depth. Budget of $1200 if it is doable. Would you please guide me in my selection? I have been on various websites and have sort of narrowed it to Zoara. Thank you.

Hello Jennifer,

I know that finding a matched pair of well cut diamond studs can sometimes be a little difficult. I actually recommend checking out Brian Gavin Diamonds matched pairs if you are looking for hearts and arrows super-ideal cut diamonds.

For example here is a .308ct I VS2 and .315ct I VS2 for $989.00:

.308ct I VS2 and .315ct I VS2 sold as matched pairs for easy diamond stud earring shopping online

I checked Zoara’s current inventory, but did not find a good matched pair (when evaluating cut quality, color and clarity). Sometimes they have them and sometimes they don’t. Another option is Ritani.com and here are two diamonds that are a nice match. They are one clarity grade higher so a bit more expensive:

.31ct I VS1 for $570.00: http://www.ritani.com/diamonds/round-diamond-0-31-Carat-I-color-GIA-certified/D-G102J5

.34ct I VS1 for $660.00: http://www.ritani.com/diamonds/round-diamond-0-34-Carat-I-color-GIA-certified/D-T13H27

Depending on what setting you prefer, it will cost an additional $200-$300 in addition to the loose diamonds.

I hope this helps you. Please let me know what you think. 🙂

Kind Regards,

Liz

Thank you so much for your help Liz. I decided to go with the Brian Gavin pair in a platinum setting. Delivery is set for Nov 7th….my birthday! Can’t wait.

Once again, thank you for your quick and very thorough response. For someone who has been looking at so many diamond options with minimal skill and experience it quickly became a blur. You brought back the sparkle with my diamond options.
