Default How much does a pair of 3 carats tw diamond studs cost?
Hi,

Anyone have a rough idea how much a pair of 3ct total weight (1.5 ct each ear) would cost? For an I1 clarity and colorless (F-I)?

I was looking around and was just wondering what a guestimate ballpark would be.

Thanks!!!

Do you mean IF (Internally Flawless) and colorless as in D? If that's what you mean then earrings of that size and quality from a boutique such as Cartier, Tiffany's, or Harry Winston would cost you at least $50,000 I'm guessing.

It depends where you go....there are some great deals to be had at some estate sales. I would say anywhere from $8-10k because of the I1 clarity.
Here is an example:

This one would be around $8600 as you can find 20% coupons easily for diamond.com

Are these good quality diamonds? How are their return policies? Do they have a live store?

Thanks!

I have bought a few high dollar items from them and they were all nice, but I didn't go below SI clarity. They are I1 so you should expect black spots or occlusions. I believe they have a 14 day return policy if you aren't happy with them.

There is a local jeweler in new jersey called Walter Bauman. They have 4 stores and have monthly estate sales. I have gotten amazing items there at unbelievable prices. I can check with them to see if they have a pair.
