Earrings at costco look really good. I will show them to my dh tomorrow. They are very clean and bright. We don't be long to costco but it might be worth it. 14 is what I was seeing but I still want to check some out in person. Thanks again for all your help. I'm going to bed now. Have a great night. If you think of any thing else I will check it in the morning.

I bought some .33ctw Kwiat studs from Nordstrom actu. I got them during the anniversary sale. You can also look at a site like whiteflash but I had horrible experience with their metalwork. Their stones are stellar. If you want good stones you can also do blue nile
I considered buying studs from Diamond Wave but ended up purchasing at Zoara instead. I highly recommend them. GIA cert and the setting is gorgeous. I bought 1.5 ct studs.
I, personally, would never go princess over round. I feel like rounds are more classic and I honestly look at Princess as a bit of a "trend".
I bought the round woven setting in 18K white gold. I don't like the way martini styles fit in my ears and I wanted 4 prongs to match my ring. I highly recommend Zoara, I was very happy with them.
Ame- I went and looked at the princess ones at the local mall and I think you are right. I going to stick with the round. GucciObsessed that is the one I wrote in my list. My only worry with them is that they don't have screwbacks. I have very curly hair and I was worried I might lose them. The woven one that I was looking at said .70 ctw color H-I and SI 2 clarity.
Mine do not have screwbacks. I don't love screwback earrings because IME they twist and sometimes come undone. Plus they hurt my ears! The friction backs on the Zoara studs are really really tight. But like you I am paranoid about losing expensive earrings so I use the Zoara backs AND on the end of the post those super inexpensive rubber tube backs they usually put on hanging earrings. The GIA certs I have from Zoara are I color and SI1 for 1.5 tcw earrings. They are excellent cut. I put the dimensions in the HCA and both scored under a 2. If you want I can take some pictures. Also try searching the Internet for coupon codes, I think I received an additonal 12% off of these earrings and I was really happy.
Btw, I have princess cut studs and I never wear them! I've worn the rounds almost every day!

Your earrings sound fantastic. I wish they still offered The SI 1. Their are two more company's that I have added. Diamonds4less has a 1/2 ctw in 14k or platinum IGI report and Cut-excellent, color is H,Clarity is VS. They also let you up grade if you want. I also found Angolee and they have 1/2 ctw 18k gold excellent cut,f-g in color, vs in clarity. This company will send them out to get a gia report,but it does come with warranty. They also have some interesting settings but not as nice as your woven.
