ACA Studs - Opinions

[Alias]

Hi Everyone,
I am ready to make a purchase for my wife's diamond studs and was hoping to get some opinions on the diamonds I picked prior to purchase:

2. https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4118734.htm

The color and clarity are a little overkill but the price difference due to the size does not seem huge...I like the clean AGS report diagrams!
Plan is to put these on either a 3 prong platinum or a 6 prong platinum setting.

Thanks!

I would strongly recommend dropping down to an SI1 and getting larger stones. .4 each is not that large, and I wonder if your wife wouldn't prefer slightly larger stones? No one is inspecting earrings super closely, so anything over VS2 clarity is really unnecessary (IMHO).

I should have mentioned that we tried on larger diamonds but because they are for everyday use..1ct+ was too large for her ears.

I guess I save around $200 if I picked up something with a lower clarity and color...would not feel comfortable under H color though.

I am a clarity- and colour-freak, so I'm definitely in the 'needs to be mind-clean' camp so my opinion is that one should splash out if one can afford it and the purchase would hit all the desired specs exactly!

Don't forget to also look at CBI stones at High Performance Diamonds, and the Brian Gavin stones!

Oh awesome. I was afraid she hadn't tried on stuff and you were assuming she preferred clarity over size. But in this case, your choice is perfect! I wouldn't drop color/clarity just to save $200. Glad you got her preferences!

Beautifully matched pair. I'd prefer a 3 prong setting b/c it is much easier to clean.
