Confused about pricing and "D" color for earrings

We all are familiar with the effect of most cameras not doing justice to well cut and proportioned diamonds and end up taking 500 videos to find 1 that's moderately acceptable! LOL

Busy day with work, etc. but I will get to it as soon as I can!

The stones just arrived, and WOW. They are ridiculously pretty! Just gorgeous! I'm almost afraid of them, lol. I'm not sure if someone like me should have them.:lol: So different from the Old European Cut in my engagement ring! And, I love that stone too!

Socks officially knocked off. :kiss2:

Total with tax came to $408. Not sure if tax comes from New York where they shipped from or my state. At my age I should know something like that, lol.

Diamonds themselves were a bit under 200 each. Yeah, I've benefited a ton from both the education here and the advice. DejaWiz was so kind and helpful.

Ritani was happy to do a price match for me provided the diamonds were the exact same number, which they were. Ritani customer service has been phenomenal. They've been very patient with me :bigsmile: highly recommend!

I hope that I get the setting right! Right now leaning toward the eight prong martini that my jeweler pointed me to. I will update on my other thread about Settings.
 
I think my video files are too large!

Well, despite my best efforts, the links I created to vimeo must not be OK for this forum. They are just waiting for moderator approval. Sorry. :???:
 
I don't think my videos will ever be approved so I'm going to attach a couple pictures. They don't do these beautiful diamonds justice but oh well!IMG_4123.jpegIMG_4125.jpegIMG_4124.jpegIMG_4123.jpeg
 
Got a few more pictures today that still don't do justice but here they are anyway. Nobody in my life is remotely as excited about this project as I am so I am posting them here! I am concerned they might be a little bit big but I will sort that out.IMG_4210.jpegIMG_4203.jpegIMG_4202.jpegIMG_4204.jpeg

I think you'll be fine...my wife wears 0.75 each ear almost daily.
Alrighty, so I've adjusted the search for $200 max each diamond and they'll be a little smaller, but you can still get each one up around 5.60-5.65mm (around 0.66-0.68 carat each).
Let me know when you're ready and I'll give you the list.

Hello DejaWiz, I am also looking for a similar pair of stud earrings of this size. Do you by chance still have your list available?

Hi, Lavy!
I can search some sellers for ya - you looking for around 0.75 carat each? What is your max budget for both loose diamonds?

I just read up on the new tariffs and being in Canada it looks like there is a new 25% tariff on diamonds, looks like that will significantly change my budget I had hoped for so I will pause for now. Thanks for the response though, I will reach out when I’m ready!
