Hi, thank you.
I have been searching and saving for diamond stud earrings for my son and have been searching James Allen mostly. After reading your article I am looking at Blue Nile which I was familiar with before.
Basically, I want to get the largest diamonds for my money with a quality gold setting and the most shine possible.
If we have to keep upgrading I am willing but like a spoiled child, I want it now.
$1650.00 is the top of my affordability.
Here are the largest diamonds I can recommend for up to $1650.00:

Blue Nile LD11443691
Blue Nile LD11354616
They are well cut and will be very brilliant as earrings.
What do you think?
I think I want a larger diamond stud earring. Closer to 2.0 twc. Without compromising brilliance.
Something like this?

Ok so you hit the mark on the first email (cannot afford second choices) but ALSO I’m sorry but I forgot to tell you princess cut diamond studs.
See I’m shopping for my son and think he would like this style most.
Btw, love James Allen and like Blue Nile reviews. So can you help me again with my original request but in a princess cut?
Thank you.
No worries 🙂

Thank you very much for the links. Beautiful results.
My plan is to purchase in approximately three weeks so I can afford diamonds + setting. So because “diamonds go fast” please let me contact you again then.
Any advice on “black Friday” or “cyber Monday?”
You can reach out again a couple of days before you want to pull the trigger.
As for the upcoming sales, there might be some around BF/CM, but as far as I know, sales don’t usually include loose diamonds.
So I made payment to James Allen from the links you sent me!
Thank you very much for your help!!
That’s great news!
It was my pleasure helping you.
