Hello, I've learned a lot on this forum, but all this research is giving me decision paralysis so I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me? My partner is buying me diamond stud earrings for Christmas and I am looking because I know he'd just buy the first pair he sees because he hates shopping. Problem is our budget is low (around $500 ideally, but could possibly go up a few hundred). Can you find certified earrings at this price or would I be looking for preset, uncertified only?
Cut is of most importance to me. I inherited a family member's engagement ring and although it's small, that diamond has a lot of fire. I'm okay with smaller, since this is my first pair of diamond earrings, but I'd like the earrings to be equally bright and sparkly. Labs scare me off because of the blue nuance, which I wouldn't want at all. Just not sure if I should look for smaller/cheaper naturals or larger labs for a similar price (if I can find some without blue)? Am open to any and all suggestions because I feel like I'm about to give up out of frustration. TIA.
