I am now torn between two earrings. One is from this new age British jeweller Monica Vinader and the other is from tiffanys

This is the Monica vinader one.

The tiffany one. Neither of them have gold in them but they both have diamonds. The MV one is significantly cheaper but I think the diamonds might not be that good either?

What material do you like?

Pearls?

I'm more interested in diamonds.

I'm not sure how much the vca sweets are at this time but I would go with that collection. I don't like the dbty at that price point personally. I do like the Tiffany atlas and would recommend that instead.

I will definitely check out Tiffany atlas!

If you want a branded piece I would buy either a classic Elsa Peretti piece or key from Tiffany.

I would also look at estate pieces (branded and non-branded). You may find something unique.

Sorry for sounding like a dud but what are estate pieces? I do really like tiffanys. It's great value for money.

Cartier LOVE ring? They are around $1600 USD and the wedding band width is around $1000 USD

I already have the Cartier love ring and dldc necklace. Now I'm looking for a pair earrings. Any suggestions? Thanks

My Pilates instructor was given a pair of Tiffany silver ball earrings. Don't know the name or model number. They always look appropriate and understated chic. You should still have money left over for something else too.

Love these, and very practical because they can be used anytime.

Estate means pre-owned. There are a lot of vendors that specialize in antique/vintage/ preowned pieces.

I really love the Kiki Mcdonough range. If you have small diamond hoops, already, you can just purchase charms (called 'drops'):

or full earrings:

I bought some drops recently and was impressed with the design and sparkle. Also, the drops that I purchased seemed very well made. I'm really thrilled with them.

If you like diamonds and you are in the UK, you could try 77Diamonds.com. They sell direct and you could get a decent pair of diamond earrings for £1000. Mine are 0.34ct each RB, VS1, E colour, excellent cut set in Platinum. They were about £1500. You get to choose each stone- they provide all the details you need to get the exact stones that you want. They also do similar styles to the Monica Vinader pair, but they are set in gold or platinum and the diamonds are guaranteed to be G, VS quality, unlike MV. Hope this helps. Good luck xxx

Thank you so much! I will definitely check them out. I was worried about this in relation to MV because I don't know what kind of diamonds they use and then its not even real gold. I'm also looking at blue Nile. Do you know if they're any good either?
Thank you!!

Sorry, I have no experience with Blue Nile. I have read some pretty positive things about them on this forum xxx

I got my wedding band from blue Nile and I was happy with it.
