Hi all,

I'm a novice to diamonds and would appreciate any input.. I'm planning to buy a pair of loose diamonds online to make diamond stud earrings..unfortunately there are no actual pics of it online. After much hours of analyzing, I came up with these two (total ~$9,800) and just wanted to ask if they are a good match in appearance and a good purchase in general... thanks in advance

diamond #1 (gia)
0.91 ct, G, VS1, 3EX
table 57%
depth 62%
crown 35
pavilion 40.8
cutlet none
measurement 6.18 x 6.21 x 3.84 mm

diamond #2 (gia)
0.91 ct, G, VS1, 3EX
table 57%
depth 61%
crown 33
pavilion 40.8
cutlet none
measurements 6.22 x 6.25 x 3.80 mm
 
I'd want a closer crown angle match.
 
Me, too. At least 34 on the crown angle for the second stone. The first one has good numbers.
 
thanks for answering..i really like the first diamond too but having so much trouble finding its partner. so i went on pricescope diamond search and found two other diamonds that i think might work..

Better.
 
@gypsy, which one is better to match diamond #1 .. #3 or #4?
 
I and 3. Can you get an IS of them?
 
so diamond #3 got sold before i can place it on hold... so i'm back to diamond#1 and diamond #2 with the low crown angle (33)

heres #2 details and the IS.. any comments appreciated.

It's fine for an earring. I'd just want the match to be better. But then again, I'm picky with matches. And you won't wear them next to each other. If there is a good return policy (that includes return shipping) get them and see them in person for yourself and see what you think.
