I’m looking to pick up a set of diamond studs in a 3 prong, or simple and small 4 prong white gold setting, about 2/3ct total (1/3ct each).
My budget is somewhere around $1000-$1300, and I certainly don’t expect to find something completely flawless and colorless.
From what I’ve read, something with an I or H color rating would be great value for the studs that aren’t going to be viewed next to each other in the setting like a ring with multiple diamonds would.
I’d like to find something that even when viewed up closely should look mostly flawless.
I’ve found these two sets that seem like a good combination, and based on the 3D photos they look great (granted, that’s to my untrained eye!).
0.64ctw, I/VS2
Blue Nile LD08536050-LD09144987
0.66ctw, E/SL1
Blue Nile LD08866157-LD08978062
I’m leaning more towards the first pair, and would certainly be open to any other suggestions.
Thanks for everything!
The first pair is fantastic! It’s no longer available and I’m hoping it was you who put it on hold.
The second pair isn’t as nice as the second diamond there has a cloud mentioned as the first inclusion which can mean that it’s significant and the diamond is cloudy. I wouldn’t risk it.
It was me that put the first pair on hold. I’m very excited to have them come in next week!
