Diamond Hoops

[nola82]

I''ve pretty much decided on getting my fiancee diamond hoop earrings as a wedding gift. I would like to spend around $1,000. I know she would like them to be as large as possible within that budget, while also ensuring that they''re of high quality. From what I''ve read and seen, the best options may be Whiteflash, Roberto Coin, or the Facets Collection?

An option from Whiteflash:
http://www.whiteflash.com/fine-jewelry/diamond_studs/single-shared-prong-diamond-eternity-hoops_1275.htm#. They look very nice, and are a very good bang for the buck, but I''ve seen some people complain about metal near the clasp hanging over their earlobe.

From the Facets Collection:
http://www.thefacetscollection.com/item.cfm?item_id=3838. It''s above what I really want to spend--would they able to make something a bit smaller, even if it''s not listed on their website?

Is there anywhere in particular I should look to try and get the best priced items from Roberto Coin? Do people think it would be possible to find 1 ctw Roberto Coin hoops for around $1,000, or would it be a fruitless search?

Really appreciate the help! Thank you.

Hi nola82!
I have a thread here about my hoops from Diamonds by Lauren https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/new-diamond-hoops.126230/ Earshots are on the second page.

They were a gift, so I'm not sure how much they cost, but I think it was around your budget, maybe just a little more.

I know they were planning on offering a range of different diameters and carat weights, so you'd probably find something in budget, but I don't see them on the site, you might need to email / call if you're interested.

I really, really love my hoops and I wear them most days. They sparkle like crazy and look good dressed up or down. I hope you find a pair, it's a lovely wedding gift idea.

ETA someone else got a pair of huggies from Costco recently, but I can't find the thread - they were beautiful too.

Here are 1 ct. roberto coin hoop earrings from Nordstrom. They''re quite a bit more than the WF ones. . .

Unless you go to CL or eBay, chances are you will not find RC in your price range. And, also, the RC ones won''t be as well cut. I have a RC piece and it sparkes like crazy, however, the diamonds leak a bit more light than my other diamonds.

Hello there! Thanks.
How''s the weather where you are? We have snow and sleet. Utterly miserable. I''m wearing 4 layers of sweaters (and my hoops).

Rain here in Dumbarton ( just outside Glasgow ). Still its better than snow and us Scots never let rain put us off, we would never do anything otherwise!!!

Hope your diamonds are keeping you warm!! He he
