diamond studs

[lucretias]

perhaps i am asking a question that's only been asked a million times, but the search function is off...:-)

I would like to buy some diamond studs, and my budget is limited. Where would you all recommend would be a good place for getting the most bang for my buck? And in terms of cut, what wopuld you all recommend I look for to enhance my buck. In terms of color and clarity what's the lowest I can go and still get a good deal. I think the most I can realistically spend it 1,500. Do you all think I can get anything decent for this price? Or should I work on saving money for a better deal or should I try CZ and if I do who would you recommend.

TIA!!!!!

check out whiteflash.com or bluenile.com

Look for I color, SI1 or SI2 clarity and EXCELLENT/IDEAL cut.

I've sold 1 ctw studs, SI2/SI3, F-G color Round Studs for around that or a little less so you should be able to find something very nice and reasonable.

Good luck in your search!

i wear moissanite earrings, they never get cloudy like CZ...and sparkle like mad. you need to be choosy with them, some have more color than others...but most earrings are lower on the color scale, so they look realistic.

i have 2ctw diamond earrings, but wear the moissanite instead...i have had very close calls with the real diamonds. so they are locked up.
