Alright, I'm convinced to get the diamonds!

But for the same price I can get either:
non-certified 1/2 carat earrings
OR
double certified Leo 1/3 carat earrings
The Leos will sparkle a lot more & I can always trade them up for larger diamonds when I get more $. Should I get the Leos?
By the way, Carolina, yes I do know that we are big competitors, but actually in the mall I trained in, we were actually pretty buddy-buddy with the Friedman's people. I haven't met any of the Friedman's people in this mall, though. Congrats on the nice pearls! I like the "black pearls" that are actually more of a grayish-blue color, but I don't think pearls look right on me.
