Q&A: Help Finding a Pair of Diamond Stud Earrings For a Yellow Gold Setting With a $10k-$12k Budget

By Mike Fried,

Hi, would appreciate your assistance in finding a pair of round diamond stud earrings as s gift for my wife. She only wears yellow gold, so the setting should be 14 or 18k – I don’t know if it makes a difference. Looking for matched diamonds that are 1-1.5ct each – that really sparkle. Thanks!

Can you tell me what your approximate budget is? Then I’ll be happy to help you with the search for a matched pair of diamonds.

My budget is $10,000 – $ 12,000. Since I’m looking at this as a gift… I’d like to hear from you as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Thank you for the information. Have a look at these two diamonds:
Blue Nile LD07266109
Blue Nile LD07839536

They are both very well cut and going to look colorless:

Also Blue Nile loves our education and wanted to offer a coupon for our readers. Here is a unique coupon code for $100 off. [contact us for your own unique coupon code]

Another option is a free pair of studs (1/5th of a carat total weight) while supplies last for orders over $3,500. If you prefer that, use this code. [contact us for your own unique coupon code]

Let me know what you decide.

Thank you, are there any others? Also, is the “J” color going to be a bit yellow? Finally I assume I order directly from them?

Did you check Gavin?

J color is great for studs. Unless you’re extremely color sensitive, they will look colorless:

Yes, I suggest contacting the company directly. They’ll help you finish the order.

If an extraordinary brilliance is what you’re looking for then I think you won’t be disappointed by the BGD diamond. That’s exactly what they focus on and you can be sure that you’ll receive the best of diamonds. I found a matched pair on their site but they are under 1.00 carat.

They are both very well cut and eye-clean.
