Buying Diamond Earrings...


Kettle

Recommended Posts

...As a gift for my wife this Christmas. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm wondering if the clarity is a huge deal on diamonds that aren't that big. I will probably go and look for myself, but wondering what common opinion is. I've found these, and they look good all around but the clarity rating is bad.

I bought something from Blue Nile just today for our anniv and they are fine.

However when I bought my wife diamond earrings 2 years a go I went through the diamond district in NYC and saved about 50% off blue nile. got 1c each diamond cut for $4500 and they were over $9,000 on blue nile. If you can ask around and find a good contact there it will save you tons. I know you don't have time to do it this time around but think about that in the future.

Does he ship? I know pretty much exactly what I want now. 1/3 cttw, princess cut, 14k white gold.

blue nile is a little cheaper than what I paid for that, but Jared does their whole program with the warranty like free cleaning and inspection.

I got a 1ct diamond from diamond direct for $4k. Same diamond was $9k on blue nile website. But blue nile settings are much cheaper. I paid $3k for setting at diamond direct and blue nile had similar one for $1.5k. So u win some, you lose some. Diamond direct offers free cleaning and resizing for life tho.

Clarity on earrings is not a big deal, I wouldn’t go anything higher than VS2, waste of money. Color and cut are the most important.

As for diamonds direct, that’s where I bought my wife’s ring. They will almost always beat a Jared, Kay, etc. The free cleaning and ring sizing is great, although it can take a while to get your rings back.

I got them to order/match the price from this website: http://www.overnightdiamonds.com/ The diamond was in a supplier warehouse and they were able to get it.

They matched the price which was way lower than what they were offering, plus they took the risk about shipment, etc.
