I had thought I had got over my addiction having bought the engagment ring but alas no. So I decided to buy diamond studs for my finance in the WF 3 prong martini setting to suprise her on our wedding day. However with the wedding jest two weeks away and living in the uk I fear I have left it a mite late. For my budget WF came up with a couple of recommendations which they kindly shipped in. But on putting the numbers in the HC adviser they appear as 4.0 and 4.3. Is this too high for decent light performance. I've attached the images / stats and would appreciate your kind advise.

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,212 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Can you post all the proportions and carat weight please? The IS are showing some leakage, the rest of the info would be useful, what is the WF verdict on these? Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Then that is the main thing, sure they are not super douper louper, but for earrings in that size they could be very pretty stones if they are what you are looking for. Did WF have any in house stones available which fit your requirements? What a wonderful idea for a wedding present!

The diamonds do show some leakage as Lorelei said, but if WF says they would make pretty earrings, they might be ok. Good luck!

I would rather go for better looking studs myself (I own a pair of ACA's, I know how gorgeous they are). Here's a pair of J's, and a pair of I's I found. I have no idea what color you had or budget. But these would both make a stunning pair of earrings. Feel free to ignore! http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Compare_Diamonds.aspx?idnos=1148679,913010,1148667,1148666 ETA And here's an H pair. http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Compare_Diamonds.aspx?idnos=801182,1148677 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Garry H (Cut Nut) Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,577 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2000	Diamond seeker ask them to find you a shallow pair - they should be an equally low cost alternative and you will get a bigger spread and more light return at the edges. Side by side (especially after being worn and a bit dirty) the shallow stones will appear 20% larger. The only time you will see darkness in the stones is when YOU are close up - very close. Anyone else gets that close she should take them out! Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au
