The ratings have it! BOOM!
This was the year to buy diamond studs. Christmas time is the best time to shop. So, shop I did! I visited the usual mall jewelry stores both "online" and in person. Checked out a independently owned fine jewelry stores. ( higher graded certified diamonds....out of my budget). Wanted to get comparisons. Seemed like $500-600 was the common price for 1/2ctw IG rated stones. So, thought that I would give these a go. Placed my order, used a $20. Coupon that popped up! Then decided to buy a set from a.mall store for a side-by-side comparison. ($399.00 holiday sale price.). The sparkle factor was very comparable. Yes, you can see inclusions in this grade of diamonds, which I expected. The big difference was one set was packaged in a nice velvet box packed inside another nice box. AND it came with a diamond grading laminated card for "insurance purposes" only . ( general grades used for this price point. Yep, SUPER JEWELER double boxed and included the grading card! Impressed! Yep, the mall set will be returned. My mission was accomplished! Very happy with my new pair of Dr Phil endorsed 1/2ctw earrings! Buy a pair! Heck, buy two!
