liz-e Rough Rock Total Posts: 55 Last Post: 9/13/2009 Member Since: 9/9/2008	Hi All, I am considering purchasing diamonds that are .41 and .42 in size. They would be in a bezel setting... Topic says .1 ... clearly I wasn't thinking at the time... difference is .01 lol Therefore.. Would I notice the difference in size on the ears? I'd appreciate everyones expertise.. I would be devastated if the difference was noticeable! Thanks in advance, Liz.

Thanks in advance, Liz. Highly unlikely - we need the diameters of each diamond to tell for sure - but I doubt you would notice any difference. 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.

Ditto - measurements are always best, but very much doubt it.

liz-e Rough Rock Total Posts: 55 Last Post: 9/13/2009 Member Since: 9/9/2008	I'll dig up the measurements.. I highly doubt that there would be any difference at all.. lol This is what I am considering: http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Compare_Diamonds.aspx?idnos=913011,1467426 Setting is still debatable at the moment, although I'm swaying towards the wg bezel setting (even at $660AUD) Interestingly I did a comparison between Precious Metals and paying 1.5 x (with our current exchange rate) and all the importation fees... it's still cheaper. I guess I know what I'm getting with Whiteflash too... a fantastic product!! :) :)

The only way I can tell them apart is to check the GIA cert number under the loupe (its on the girdle). Your diamonds are extremely well matched. Note that they are both 4.8 mm. You will never see that 0.01 mm! **** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****
