I''m a long time reader and first time poster here...I used your site quite a bit over the past few years and now I''m Planning on getting my wife a set of Diamond Stud earrings for christmas this year. I''ve been shopping at WhiteFlash and have found the following two diamonds. I usually opt for a smaller size and quality like I did with her engagment ring however I find myself in a different situation with a set of earrings since this isn''t nearly as important. I''m trying to balance 3c''s with price and size and having some trouble. She likes the look of a more colorless stone but I''m having a hard time debating between taking the size down a notch to upgrade the color or vica versa. I''m convinced that SI1 will be fine for a earring (correct me if I''m wrong here) however I''m not sure how much difference there will be between .35ct & .4ct? With these stones below I''m spending a bit more than I''d like (Target price is <$1500 to w/ setting but I think it may be nice to have a .4ct. Also how much does the H&A matter? I''m not opposed to choosing a non H&A stone its just all I was finding on the site in an ideal cut including all the sarin reports and ideal scope images.
Thoughts or suggestions would be great.
FWIW I love this site...I used it to find my wife''s engagment diamond about 2.5 years ago and its amazine that even today she still gets compliments on the ring and how bright it is. Alot of great info here and the Cut Advisor is an awesome tool!
