I agree, Zales is like going to Kohl's vs Nordstrom. You won't get the same quality.

I read that after I posted it and thought "oh I bet that sounds really mean".

^^ But it was funny and very true! LOL

I think it's just right for you, bigger ones could be too much in your earlobes

 

[GigiPickles]

Well, what's your budget? You could start with a site like Blue Nile. IDJewelry is in NYC, as is Good Old Gold (Long Island and worht the hump), and all three will give you great quality. My personal specs for earrings would be in the I-J color range, maybe SI1 clarity, ideal cut (I like a 55% table).

thanks for your rec on IDjewelry...wow 47th street is pretty crazy. I can't believe i've never been to the diamond district! Anyway, wanted to see what you thought of these specs...the earrings were pretty lovely in person, I just maybe want less inclusions but the price seemed good...can you still try to haggle with these sellers??

I need way more info than that. I need angles and percentages for each stone.

Are they from IDJewelry? Tell them you're a pricescoper. Theyll give you better diamond options than if you're the average josephine.

 

[GigiPickles]

ooooh ok. It was from ID.

Yea tell them you need more information on those stones, but that you're a pricescoper and we can see what the paper looks like on these.

Yes, you can def price haggle in the jewelry district. I know it can be very overwhelming especially the first time you go there!

I used to work two blocks away from the diamond district and sometimes at lunch my coworker friend and I would wander through there just to oohh and ahhhh over the sparklies. I thought once I got engaged i would stop since I'd have a sparkly of my own but alas, it just got worse.

 

[ame]

OH it definitely gets worse.

 

[lpaigenyc]

OH it definitely gets worse.

lol! you got that right!!

Hi,

I was curious to know what size round cut diamonds do people think is a perfect size to take from day to night for a female? Something that can still be worn daily and still stand out i guess

Are you talking rings, earrings, pendant, etc? Also, not to be too invasive, but what is your lifestyle, age, clothes etc? Answering these questions will give us a better idea on what to advise you. I hope that makes sense.
