Hi All,

I am interested in getting some studs as my next project. I was browsing through some of the threads and found this style below that I really like. My question is - if I want at least the appearance of a 2 carat spread, what is the smallest carat size for the single stud and then what size for the diamonds in the jacket? Also, who would make something like this? I don't need certified diamonds, I don't think...I just need excellent cut and maximize size on a budget.

Many people here love their jackets from ID Jewelry in NYC. You can tell, because they are almost never on Preloved. =) I would give them a call and tell them what you're looking for. Many people find them to be very budget-friendly, it seems!
 
IDJ jackets are nice. I tried my 2ctw studs in them and almost went blind :naughty:.

So if you want a spread of 2ct stone in each ear, that's about 8.1mm diameter. The jackets come in various size stones so you just have to decide which look you like. I think they had 3 and 5 pointers but there might be other sizes. Bigger or smaller halo stones vs center stone.
