Looking at buying diamonds What does CCTW mean?

Found pair earings says MSRP 10k CCTW 2 carrots, white gold 14k. What should i expect to pay.

2 carat is meaningless without the context of other attributes

A 2 carat round ideal cut color H clarity VS2 with GIA certificate is $17K in the market if that is what you are getting - you can walk into any jewelery store and make 7K in cash instantly.

OP, you hardly gave us information. No link, no other details, nothing. It's hard to give you any useful advice.

I'm willing to be that whatever you're looking at isn't worth nearly $10,000. If 'they' say MSRP is $10k, it's probably worth $5k. Markups on jewelery in retail stores are huge.

Do the earrings have GIA or EGL certificates ?

what is the Table and Depth of each stone ? Is there any fluorescence in them ?

For $10K I can get you the following

1.61/1.63 ct, Color I, Clarity SI2/I1, EGL certified Ideal cut round diamonds.

For two 1 carat diamond each I could get GIA certified diamond for a total of less than $5K
