FYI - 1 cttw blue studs are $490. Also, might be worth it to check your credit cards. Mine currently has 10% cash back on purchases at Bloomingdales.
Eeee...I hope this means Lightbox will be coming out with better blues this time around. That is one heck of a deal!
Usually you can stack them

I like the pale blue color (at least from the pictures I can see online). I feel fortunate. I got a very good deal. Do you think the 2ctw will ever sell at Bloomingdales? (and thus go on sale there?) Or is that too much of a wish?
Thank you for the discount codes April baby! I now have some blue diamonds coming my way!
I am dying for those 2 ct to come back in stock!
Just buy 2 pendants and get them reset!

I wouldn’t be surprised if one day the 2ctw became available and went on sale at Bloomingdale’s. It might be a little later as those studs were just introduced and still in demand.
Most items 20% off again, some blues 30% off and a few 65% off (!!!)
I finally decided to find a jeweler to get my two 1 ct pierced white solitaires set as earrings. I went to a higher end independent jewelry store first. Mind you I still had the tags on the necklaces, and the woman told me they weren’t diamonds and that it wasn’t possible to drill a hole through a diamond like the ones in them. They could set them, but they ”wouldn’t take them in as diamonds”, and they could only set them in a basket - they wouldn’t use the jump ring. And it was going to be $900. Needless to say, I was not impressed.
Second stop was a less fancy store. They were nice as pie, didn’t care what type of stones they were (but also didn’t question my assertion that they were manmade diamonds), found a perfect setting in a book (probably Stuller, but I didn’t look) and they offered to replace the silver jump rings piercing the diamonds with platinum to match the settings. And at half the price of the first place. I have no idea if that’s a great price, but the platinum settings in the book were nearly 4x the price of gold, so it seemed reasonable to me. I’ll post some pix when I get them back in a week or so.

I can’t wait to see them! How will you cover the hole? With a prong?
I believe it will hold the jump ring for the new earring.
