How to buy diamond stud earrings?

I would like to buy my girlfriend a pair of diamond stud earrings. Two questions, do you think she'll appreciate them? Where can I spend up to $2000 and get the best deal for my money?|||Ian, I expect she will absolutely love a pair of diamond stud earrings. They are an exquisite gift and likely to go with anything and everything she wears. Here are some tips that you should consider:





-Are you clear on the interplay between the 4 Cs that determine both the brilliance in terms of how much your diamonds sparkle and the intrinsic value and therefore cost.


-Have you thought about the setting that the diamonds will be held in


-What sort of metal will you be going for, the most popular these days is either platinum or white gold. Yellow gold is a little dated and less popular


-Given your budget what size diamond will you be purchasing. Bigger is not always better, particularly if the quality of the cut or the number of imperfections is high





If you can be clear in your own mind about some of the issues above than I'm sure you'll make a very successful purchase and your girlfriend will be very pleased. I would expect you'll get your best cost deal by buying online, you may however loose out on the customer service and personal service angle.





There's a great little resource where you can continue your education, buy some discount diamond earrings or amazingly design your own diamond stud earrings. Take a look:

First make a list of the top jewelry stores that you like, or maybe some of your family and friends have purchased from in the past.





Second, after making the list, go to each store, maybe with a friend or your girlfriend sister or mother, and get a ball park figure of what your money will buy for $ 2000.00.





Ask questions, like how much a half a carat total weight would cost, (that's 25 pt in each ear = 50 pts), then ask them how much one carat would cost, (that's 50pts in each ear = 100 pts), see what the price is , ask them are they having any sales running now.





Next ask them what is the cut, clarity, quality, etc. of the diamond earrings you are interested in. Ask them can this item be traded in for something larger, at a later date. Ask them do they have insurance, and is it included in the purchase? Ask them what their return policy is.





Now do this with all of the stores that you have chosen, and then compare the prices/everything else. Even customer service counts, you can even check with the better business bureau to see the stores standing. After all of this, you should be able to make a great decision.





You will get the best deal, you will be happy, and your girlfriend will really be happy. I know I was when I got my earrings. I cried.................... LOL





P.S. Don't act happy and don't be anxious or excited, they look at this as a sign of weakness sometimes. Just look at your notes, and check the facts. You'll be just fine. I admire you.|||Honestly, I think every girl would love diamond stud earrings. Unless she completely hates jewelry, doesn't wear any, and thinks it's a complete waste of money. In regards to your second question, if you want the best bang for the buck, the answer is easy...bluenile. However, you lose out on advice from a professional that can pick out the most well matched pair, you miss out on the expertise of picking the best cut diamonds which = sparkly as heck, and you also miss out on having the earrings cleaned and checked periodically. So if you're looking for the cheapest then bluenile.com. But if you would like the service, expertise and relationship that comes with your purchase, than look to purchase from someone that is educated in their trade, loves to sell quality pieces, and enjoys servicing you.|||jared, and yes, she will appreciate it|||she will definitely appreciate them! tiffany and co has gorgeous ones.
