Hello All,
I haven''t been an active user on this site but enjoy reading the posts. Now that I am in need of help, I am hoping I will get some advice.
I am in process of getting some custom earrings made. I am attaching pictures to this thread so that you get an idea of what kind of earrings I am planning to make. These are just pictures to give you an idea but I am looking at all diamonds earrings of similar design.
I need help finding central stones for my earrings. I have recently visited a store where I saw similar earrings with central stones 0.85 (6.11 - 5.99 x 3.72) and 0.83 (5.99-5.86 x 3.74) sorrounded by a total of 24 diamonds for both earring (0.03 points each). While I understand that proportions of central stones are not ideal, this is to give you an idea of earrings proportion that I liked. Here are my questions:
1. How hard would it be to find a matching pair for central stones? Which vendors should I consider and what to look for? I am ok buying online as long as there is a good return policy and it''s reputable vendor.
2. What color/clarity would work for these earrings, will H/SI2 be acceptable and which inclusions in stones for earrings are acceptable? I like H&A but it''s not necessarily a requirement for earrings.
3. What size of central stones should I consider? These will be every day earrings but I don''t want them to be too small or too big. I am thinking that anything between 0.6 to 0.8 for central stone and then 0.03 for surrounded smaller stones should look very good.
4. Most importantly, my budget is $6000 total. That includes central stones, small stones, and custom work. I didn''t get estimates for custom work yet but i am thinking it will be around 1,500K. Is that reasonable? Most importantly, whoever does the work, has to be familiar with European lock and most importantly what is referred to as "Russian lock" since this is the only type of lock that I can wear in my earrings.
Sorry for a long post and thank you in advance for your help.
