Diamond Studs - GIA EX Cut 3.6 TCW or 4 TCW VG Cut

[caballogurl]

I am looking for some larger studs - J Color 1.8-2 total carat weight per stud. Should I choose the 2 carat each stud very good cut or the 1.8 carat per stud excellent cut? Blue Nile has verified that all the diamonds are eye clean.

Option 1 Excellent Cut:
If I go with option 1, I'm looking at three stones, which of the three should I pick?

If it were me, I would want the slightly smaller, excellent cut stones. I can't speak to the exact ones you've picked out but I'm sure the experts will chime in.

Thanks! I"m just wondering if there is a noticeable difference when they are in my ears.
