Hello,
I just wondered if anyone might be able to advise me. I have just bought some GIA triple excellent studs from Blue Nile - 1.4 tcw, J / SI2 (eye clean). They are very pretty... I like the size and don't mind the colour. They are reasonably sparkly, although not as sparkly as my e-ring - not sure if the colour plays any part in this given that the e-ring is a G colour.
I have just checked them on the HCA and they only get a 'good' rating. I have just looked at Whiteflash and I could get these slightly smaller K colour ACA diamonds for slightly more money:

Do you think I should return the Blue Nile studs and buy these, or would the lower colour not be worth it to know the cut is probably better? Any other suggestions! My budget is around $3200 give or take a bit...
(I originally went with Blue Nile as they ship from the UK where I live, whereas somewhere like Whiteflash there is the hassle of customs which is potentially impossibly complicated if I have to send the earrings back...)
Thank you in advance for your help!
