I always depend on friends for this kind of question but I wanted to see what the community thought.
I've been dating this lady for almost two years. We are NOT planning on getting engaged at this time.
However, I have refrained from getting her any jewelry as a gift thus far. We have always erred on the side of caution and prefer to "take it slow."
But I want to get her diamond stud earrings this Christmas and I've been doing some looking. I can find 1 ct. earrings in platinum for $2,000 to $3,000, which is in my price range. That is for 1 ct. TOTAL, meaning that each earring is only 1/2 ct.
Now I'm thinking that may not be enough. But to get 1 full ct. in each ear (2 ct.) the price jumps to $6,000 to $8,000 if they are set in platinum.
I could pull it off if I had to, but naturally, I'd prefer to keep the price lower instead of higher.
Is the 1/2 ct. in each ear an insult? Any one know of any places online that have great deals on NEW platinum stud earrings? Thanks!
