ExAFO 0 #1 November 19, 2005 Looking to get diamond earrings for my girl for Xmas. Ceiling price for me would be ~$500-$600. What stone size is respectable without breaking the bank? 1/3kt? 1/2kt? Where's a good place to go to not get fucked over by the jeweler?Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie120 0 #2 November 19, 2005 I have done business with Jared's and cannot any more happy. Great service and good prices. As for the earings, you might be able to get 1/4 ct for $500. I think the 1/2 might run you around 800-900 depending on what quality or cut the diamond is. You just need to shop around a little and see what you can find on sale. Try Jared's, I have had great luck with them and god know I have spend a shitload of cash there.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

eeneR 3 #3 November 19, 2005 I had good luck with a jeweler in Elmhurst....give more details later... She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #4 November 19, 2005 I actually saw a report on 20/20 last week that did a study on the gems that you get at places like Costco. They determined that the diamonds you get there actually are the quality that they say they are, no scams. It's not the quality of Tiffany's, but it's also not the price either.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
