the size difference between 0,5 carat and 1 carat is very slim...maybe 1,5 mm...but the price is 6 times as much

i'd say go with 2x 0,5 / 0,6 carat earring..take a color F / G as they are still colorless. A color D is unaffordable and you can't tell with the bare eye

Also, just pick a VS1 / VS2 or even a I1 . Wich means they are slightly damaged (from within, black spots). Still , the damaged part on a VS1 can only be seen by magnifying the diamond 30 times


I picked up a nice pair of 0,5 carat (each) earring for just $600..killer price and they look awesome
