Long-time lurker popping in to ask for your expert opinions...
OK...so I''m about to purchase a little pair of studs (for everyday where as a stay-at-home mom) and I''ve been combing the web this afternoon. I am looking at around .30 ctw. Since this is basically one of those "it''s been a long winter and I need a little pick me up" type of purchases, I''m going to go the pre-set route with these, rather than stress over the details.
I noticed that Union Diamond has .33 ctw studs (in white gold) for $275 in 3 or 4 prong setting. The limited specs they provide are "Diamond Color: Near Colorless Diamond Clarity: SI".
Whiteflash, on the other hand, has .30 ctw studs listed at $340 for prong set .30 ctw. (G SI)
Sooooo...after all that, what I wonder is this: Would there really be a significant differences between the stones in the WF earrings and the ones from Union Diamond? I''ve seen people rave and rave about whiteflash, and I''ve seen quite a lot of good words about the ready set to go pieces on these forums. Then again, at that size, would it really matter if there was a big difference?? (Truth be told, I don''t mind paying the extra cash for a little more fire, even if it''s only noticeable to me during my daily jewelry cleaning...or as my husband calls it, my daily jewelry worshipping session...hehehe.)
Any opinions are welcome!
