My wedding anniversary is coming up and I am going to buy my wife a pair of princess cut diamond solitaire earrings. I told her I would many years ago and I am confident she does not remember, but she will when she opens them. I went to the jewelry store and so many of them were tiny, did not interest me at all. They had 2 sets that seemed okay, but I don't trust sales people so I am asking you. The two sets they had that seemed reasonable in size were 1.6 ctw and 2.1 ctw. I presume that is the total carat weight of both earrings? So the 1.6 would really be .8 ctw each? And the 2.1 would really be 1.05 ctw each? They can order in a 2.4 ctw and 2.8 ctw but do not keep them in stock. Each size step up cost quite a bit more than than the one before.
Her engagement ring has a princess cut diamond that is over 2 ctw for the center stone alone, so I presume the larger the better? So should I go for the 2.1 ctw set they have or should I order in something larger? Here is what they look like:
