prefer A & b but the table and pavilion difference might be a problem as the characters of these 2 will be different.

C & D are much more different and coupled with the size difference, I would not consider them. Can you get more stones similar to A & B?

Hi Tks for the advise, can you elaborate on this ''the table and pavilion difference might be a problem as the characters of these 2 will be different''? tks I don''t think that they are able to come up with more options as I they seems to have very limited source..I do not know why I had waited for about 3 months for these.

A has the best angles, table combination, a slightly larger table than B. B also has a shallow pavilion, so the light return character might be different enough to be noticeable.

Can you get Idealscope images for any of these? Have you considered preset studs?

YESI will try to get the idealscope image when the stones arrive, probably next week. May I ask what do you mean by ''preset studs''?

Oic! tks for the explanation. Ya actually A&B is a match as well as C&D. So I will just see the A&B?

 

[stone-cold11]

[chictomato]

Hi there! Was just wondering how about B&D? will it be a better match than A&B?tks in advance!

 

[stone-cold11]

no, it will be a worse match.

 

[chictomato]

Tks for the advise, come to the price. For the selected pair A&B include 18k white gold 4 prongs earring setting is USD 1750. Is it a reasonable price? tks

 

[stone-cold11]

Tks! Yap definitely! Other than looking thru the IS? What else should I look out for?

 

[stone-cold11]

Look at them with your eyes to see if they look too different to make a good pair. get out of the store lights.

Look closely at the table sizes, 55- 58% is a fair variance but look carefully to see if it bothers you.

Look closely at the table sizes, 54 58% is a fair variance but look carefully to see if it bothers you.

Are you refering to the 55% an 58% table for A & B? So I shall see if they look like a good match. May I know what should I look out for out of the store light? Should I expect to see a difference in brilliancy?

Yes, that was a typo sorry, if you look you will probably be able to see the difference in table size, I know I can with these sizes.
