Hello,

I'm upgrading my previously purchased studs from Bluenile to 1 carat RB's and will be using their upgrade program. So I have to stick to BN to make this purchase. There are 4 pairs that I have chosen after putting them through HCA. I understand that for studs I don't need a VS1 clarity however, I'd prefer a VS1/VS2 as I cannot see pics of the actual diamond and hesitate to go with SI clarity. Also, their Signature line will cost me more and I'd rather stick to a budget for 13K for the studs. Please let know know your thoughts or suggestions:

LD02470963&LD02467204
LD02470963&LD02738816
LD02470963&LD02401448
LD02470963&LD02722673

All 4 of them share LD02470963. Here are the dimensions of each stone

HCA/Carat/Cut/Clarity/Color/Table/Depth/Crown Angle/Pavillion Angle/diameter
LD02470963: 1.6/1.03/Ideal/VS1/I/56/62.3/35/40.8/6.49 x 6.43 x 4.03 mm
LD02467204: 0.9/1.03/ideal/VS1/I/57/60.5/33.5/40.8/6.56 x 6.51 x 3.96 mm
LD02738816: 0.9/1.01/Ideal/VS1/i/57/61.2/35/40.6/6.45 x 6.48 x 3.96 mm
LD02401448 1.6/1.02/Ideal/VS1/I/56/61.8/35/40.8/6.45 x 6.48 x 4.00 mm
LD02722673: 1.6/1.05/Ideal/VS1/I/56/61.9/35/40.8/6.55 x 6.52 x 4.04 mm

I will be asking for IS images for one pair from this set but, I need to first pick which pair as it costs 50$ for each IS image with BN.
 
A critical measurement is not there...the diameter of each stone. Please add that and I will give you an opinion!

I thought I was missing something :-), I've added it to my original post. Thank you!
 
Thanks! I am looking at them and will be right back! BUT BN charges $50 for each IS image??? Goodness!
 
If LD02470963 is one of the pair, then LD02401448 is the closest match, in my opinion. Same table, crown and pav. angles, and diameter overlaps.

Thank you diamond seeker! I will post the IS images once I get them from BN.
 
You are most welcome! I am hoping they have great IS images! (By the way, I also buy VS stones for earrings!)
