You're right, the pair from DW is the best option. I actually checked DW first for you yesterday, but I didn't see that pair because it wasn't listed in the Diamond Earrings section, but rather in the "Gifts" section. Great find! It's definitely a better buy than the BBB pair. Plus, from having worked for a former BBB supplier, I can tell you that DW has a significantly higher quality requirement for their diamonds.

We're very happy to help with everything! I wouldn't worry too much about the lighting at Jared. Jewelry store lighting is so manipulated and artificial. They probably have the lights set up in a way that everything people are wearing when they walk in look terrible in comparison to what's sitting in their display cases. Hi Chrissy.

Jeff got the diamond at the end of the summer and popped the question at Lake Las Vegas 2 weekends ago. I am just beaming!!!!The diamond is absolutely to die for. You were right...going with SI1 over the VS2 has no difference to the naked eye. Since I had previously had an I stone, the J wasn't a huge difference either, and these 2 things allowed us to get a 2 carat stone that was ideal cut, but still affordably priced. I posted pictures on my facebook but I don't know how to send them to you (if you want to see, that is!)Anyway, the ring is a real show-stopper. The second I put it on the compliments started flooding in. I LOVE it! LOL It looks great in outdoor light, regular soft lighting in the house, and even amazing in the crazy fluorescent lighting of Costco and Walmart.Here's the question....We had to go to Jared Jeweler's this weekend...I had a few small pieces due for their inspection. We thought my ring would sparkle like crazy in there. Much to our surprise it didn't. You definitely could see the "J" color and the sparkle was weak. They cleaned it for us which helped slightly, but it looked like a completely different diamond in their lighting. One of the sales people told us to hold it under the counter and then it was back to being amazing in that light. I was just wondering why it looked so cruddy in their lighting. Any ideas?Thanks again and happy Thanksgiving! :) Chrissy Hello Ira!
