Hello, I am looking for diamond studs - basket, 4 prongs, white gold, ctw .60 to .66, tension or butterfly backs rather than screw backs. Please let me know what you think of these as a match:

It looked like the expert selection was about the same price as ACA. Any help or input is appreciated (should I go lower specs, different vendors?)

Welcome to Pricescope.

Those are certainly a great match, you could drop comfortably to SI clarity if verified eyeclean and a lower colour also if you were inclined in order to increase the size, but this is a personal preference. You could contact WF, see what else they have available which could be a good match out of ACA or ES, but the two you have chosen above would make lovely earrings!
 
You have the same link for the G's. But if they're the same as before, while they're great, I'd honestly say get the I's. I just don't think you would have a problem with this cut at this size, and any warmth. All you're going to see is blazing white, fire and sparkles!

I have a G and an H ACA, if they had had I's at the time I was buying in my size, I would have had no problem, and mine are .58 each.

Both are great matches in their own right. It just depends how color senstiive you are. My sweet spot is right between these two pairs at H/SI.
 
I would go for the I but either pair would be great.

Apologies - heres the link to the G''s. Although I know they are small, I think I''d prefer to go with the G''s as my engagement ring is an F and I''ll always be comparing them.
Out the three, which ones do you think are the best match?
With .33 and .335, through cut advisor, one is TIC 1.3 and other TIC 0.5 and when I view the 40X Photo of Diamond, the .335 looks definitely brighter and bigger to me.
With .33 and .328, TIC is 1.3 and 1.5 and the Photo''s look very similary.
Is it an issue if there is a bigger difference in TIC between the two diamonds?

Or am I really overthinking this...
 
Hello :)

Any two of those three diamonds would make a perfectly matched pair of earrings.

The great thing about earrings is that you wear a head in between them - so you never have them side by side.

Having said that, these diamonds are about as perfect a match as you could get! :)

Gorgeous - do post photos when they''re done!

Either of these combos would be fine.

Either of these 2 pairs are going to be beautiful studs. You will not see any difference. It all depends on what you prefer.

I too would agree either combo would be great or ask the WF rep which they like best and then you are good to go! I did the same thing you did (on over thinking a bit) but when I saw my stones they were fine; yay for new studs!!!!
