Blue along with Pink are some of the rarest naturally occurring colors in diamonds. I saw a .17 carat pink diamond being sold here in australia for 30k+....
If you dont want color enhanced you could go with sapphires.

natural colored diamonds aren't really common so there is a premium there. depending on how big you want the earrings i would just go with the enhanced

Natural isn't worth the premium. If you go colored make sure they actually look good. I have colored diamond pieces from Jacob, Icebox, and ifandco and Jacob uses the fanciest colored stones out of the three

Hey BUD thanks or the reply. I went with Rey's because at least in pictures Leon's gold doesn't have the rich tone I like as opposed to Rey's. In person Rey's gold was amazing. Their chain looked like a piece of jewelry rather than some run of the mill cuban from Miami. I will try Leon's at some point but you are right about the gram price! I want to see what their gold looks like in person so when the pandemic is "over" I'll head over.
I'm hoping the links will be chunky; same gram weight for same dimensions 12mm 24inch 260grams for Leon's and Rey's... so we'll see.

Thanks! I hope so. I know it wont look as chunky like yours or other chains, but I do like that Rey's look as well. I will say their 9mm looked hella bigger on video. It looked almost feminine in person...I hope 12mm will be chunky enough for me if not... gonna have to spend more.

That's how you're getting finessed.
If you weren't satisfied the first time, then why go back.

no doubt! I was going back and forth between 7 and 8mm initially anyway, and then they threw me the extra grams at $36/gram so I felt like it was a come up and not necessary to push for the 7mm
could simply be the phone/camera they use for IG/their site
what is a run-of-the-mill-cuban-from-Miami? Rey does great work but he aint the only one
feminine?

Sapphires make more sense than color enhanced diamonds imo.

Not that I need to justify my purchases to you or anyone but I never said I wasn’t satisfied with the craftsmanship but the size. I actually commented on how rich the gold seemed. The size was feminine. I wanted a larger chain. I have an athletic build. No one is being finessed here well, I am paying more per gram so if you mean in that way then yes. I just don’t know what others have been quoted by reys recently.

Reys prices have been higher than most of the Miami jewelers since I been communicating with them which I believe started sometime in 2019. Also I believe the general consensus in here was that Reys has the better quality smaller links (11mm and under) and Leon had the better chunkier links (12mm and chunkier). Don't quote me on the exact numbers but I believe it's in a post by

To keep it real u did good going for that 12mm instead of 9mm, that was my original plan to get 250 gram chain but after speaking with ppl who had cubans and all said the same thing to go for what u really want cuz they all wanted to upgrade from what they originally had so i just held out a lil longer to reach my desired weight,,, but to start off at 250 isnt bad at all,,, the anxiety is def gon get to u tho

ding ding ding hit the nail in the head everyone said reys reys reys started doing my own research to see which jeweler would respect my dollar the most and reys was hitting me with rape prices smh so i bailed out from him and continued to look around and couldnt be more satisfied with the route i took and if i had to do it all over ill stick with the jeweler i went with!!Reys prices have been higher than most of the Miami jewelers since I been communicating with them which I believe started sometime in 2019.

Reys was the cheapest out of all of them at one point. Their turnaround was about 2 weeks. I only know this cuz I hit him up twice for a quote, but after a while the prices and turn around went up.

What’s the going rate for 14k now?
Also I can agree with the comments about Leon, idk if they don’t dip their Cubans but at least in pics they look dull. Could also be that most of the stuff they take pics of is 10k.

Cool - haven't seen anybody post work from Limaxi but have seen CMG. Other than the thing with Daniels I think CMG is the way.
