Keep these diamond studs, return or exchange??

[vannarene]

I posted before that I ordered these online for $260ish .75 ct total weight, F, I3 14k white gold setting. I got compliments from people who don't know anything about diamonds and one gal said they just look like they need a little cleaning. They sparkle a lot and the inclusions just make it look a bit "raw" if that makes any sense. I like them but I'm not IN LOVE. Maybe I could pawn them for more than I bought them for? I have a "certificate" from a jeweler saying they retail around $700 but Idk how legit it is.

Bah, took these pics with phone and just realized there's a fat fingerprint on the lense. They look more sparkly than that!

Return if you are not thrilled!
Resale on jewelry is discounted despite what the appraisal indicates.

yep, I agree return then if you're not thrilled. if you pawn them I bought you'll get over a hundred dollars for them, pawn shows normally are pretty good at knowing diamond costs and resale value

Return them. If you pawn them you might get $50. Either get a pair of CZs and save the money for real, or find a smaller pair of nicely cut real.

sorry for the unedited post, that is supposed to say "I doubt you'll get more then $100 for the earrings if pawned, ame's right probably 50 at most :s

I would return them and get a pair of Excellent cut studs. You will be amazed at how much more they will sparkle and how much bigger they will look.

Any recommended sites? Anywhere I go in person is going to be super expensive. It's Vegas :\

Try Macy's. I have gotten nice studs there with their sales plus coupon. Not top quality, but I bought 1.5 ct studs with screw backs for $900 and I love them. They were in their clearance section. Also, over $300 if you use their credit card, no interest for 12 months.

Okay, I'm returning them! I just read an article about Moissanite so now I'm debating between Moissanite and high quality CZs.

You can try either of these, they'll be smaller than you already had but well worth the size change bec they'll be WAY better quality.

OR the WinkCZ I told you about last time. Avoid Macys or Chains like that bec they're only going to sell you what you're returning, its not worth the low quality.

If you aren't sure, then you should send them back. If you have to second guess it, chances are you will not be happy with your purchase.

I returned them and ended up buying something totally different! Tiffany's 1837 narrow hoops small. I still want diamond studs for my second hole but all in good time

Good decision!
