Ideal diamonds for earrings?

The disclaimer is that they are for resale

Okay, so we're confused... Are these personal diamonds that you are thinking of putting together for earrings? Or are these two diamonds that you are hoping to sell that you are thinking might sell better as earrings?

If for personal use, we suppose that it doesn't matter that the size and clarity of the diamonds is pretty far off. However, if this is something you are planning to sell, it doesn't sound like an accurate match to us... Most high-line retailers try to match up their earring stock within 2-3/100th's of a millimeter and match the clarity and color exactly, but obviously a consumer can match up whatever they want to wear in their ears... Our answer may not be what you're looking for because we're not quite sure of the question - we're just assuming that this is what you're asking.

Not being in the jewelry biz at all...I think that the stones would probably be worth more unmounted, sold as loose stones. From watching eBay and the like, people seem to be bidding more on loose stones that don't stifle their imagination...e.g. people don't like mounted rings as much as as a loose stone as they don't seem to realize that the stone is easily removed from an old setting AND/OR the setting may color their judgement of the stone, and in my opinion you will lose buyers considering the difference in sizing...as most uneducated buyers will think, wow that is a big difference and bypass the auction. I'm not sure if you are considering eBay or an entirely different venue, but my vote is loose stones. People feel as though they can do more with them...

Good luck!!
