Help me find some unique studs without breaking the bank!

[ctsamg]

How do you recommend new buyers find a nice pair of matching gemstones that would be appropriate to put into studs? I have a very expensive engagement ring on its way, but as a little additional Christmas gift, I'd really like to find an awesome pair of gemstone to put into studs. Budget ~$500 but preferably less. Idea is to get the GF into gemstones as opposed to the big kate spade fakes that she loves so much.

Wants:
Precision Cut
Unique Deep Color
Durability
Reds, Blues, Greens, Purples, maybe the right yellow
Ear Coverage
$500 or less for the gems

Yvonne Raley on Etsy. You pick out gems from her, and she is well respected here for quality gems. She will then set in earrings, her custom settings for studs in sterling are very reasonable, but even the 14k options are not bad.
