Q&A: Help Choosing a Pair of Earrings For a Yellow Gold Setting With a $1500 to $2000 Budget

By Mike Fried,

Looking to purchase yellow gold diamond stud earrings for a petite 65 year old. My budget is 1500 to 2000. Would appreciate your input, direction, recommendations for size, cut, clarity, color and vendor. It is my sense that earrings do not need the “quality” a ring would need.

I looked around and I love this pair for you:
Three-Prong Martini Earrings

Blue Nile LD07528095

Blue Nile LD07011583

They are well cut and match perfectly.

What do you think?

Great response.

To make sure I am reading this correctly: each stud has .46 carats. The price of $709 is for both earrings? What would the price be if we went to .75 or 1.0 carat in each earring?

The price is for each diamond. The total carat weight is 0.91ct, the total price would come to $1404.

I figured I’d pass it along. If you use this unique coupon code, you’ll get $100 off any purchase over $1,000. Just pump this code in your shopping cart. [contact us for your own unique coupon code]

Larger options would look like this:
Blue Nile LD07529238
Blue Nile LD07261191

Blue Nile LD07948236
Blue Nile LD07296997

Let me know your thoughts.

I ordered two diamonds from Blue Nile in three pronged white gold earrings as you suggested.

Thank you for your assistance!

That’s great news!

I hope you’ll love them when you receive them.

Received the earrings and they look great! Thank you for your assistance.

That sounds fantastic, thank you for letting me know.
