Diamond studs - HCA score will I notice the difference? Advice please?

[Lavy]

I ordered diamond stud earrings from James Allen by selecting single stones. I found two that matched well but I recently found the HCA calculator and when I graded them one was 0.9 and the other was 2.5. Do you think this will be noticeable?

They haven’t been made yet so I’m wondering if I should change one of them out. What do you think?

here is the 0.9

And 2.5

This one scores better but has some very visible inclusions but would it sparkle more?

How about you hold them up to your ears and let us know which one you prefer?

I don’t think you’ll notice the difference on your ears- not enough light, and your hair, angles of light etc will affect the look more. I wouldn’t get the one with more inclusions but that’s my preference. Lovely stones, they’ll look beautiful! Have you picked a setting?

Thanks for you advice. I think too much info has me paranoid!

I’m getting the traditional 4 prong setting. They are replacing an old set of 1.0 ctw studs that I’m pretty sure at best a good cut so I’m hoping these will outsparkle them!

Please do post your earring pics once you have them!!!

I did end up changing one of the diamonds to get a slightly higher HCA score. I doubt I would have noticed the difference regardless but I finally got them! Took a while but they are beautiful. I upgraded them from my 0.95 ctw mined studs (probably good cut). They have so much more sparkle than my old studs!
