I have mentioned before that my original engagement is a MRB, .75 H color probably an I clarity but eye clean.

I'm making it into a 3 stone pendant (or possibly a 7 stone... need to get with the jeweler and figure it out).

The stones I needed to buy are the .37; the one I bought and forgot to send back in time for a refund is an I, ideal cut, but 2.5 HCA because its clear my .75 is not perfect. I bought I thinking it would make the bigger stone pop more...

(The other stones are all uncert also... .25 .25 .12.5 .12.5)

What would you do if you were me? Assuming I stick with the 3 stone pendant, should I start over and get the original stone measured (can I do it?) and should I get a color H instead of I for the .37s?)

The .37 I color can sit in my jewelry box until someone needs it for a promise ring or something...

Yeah. So this is what I am doing while waiting for my studs... second guessing everything!

but I thank everyone here because at least I am learning to edit my decisions whereas before I just went with "well that's perfectly fine"....
 
You need to get all the stones professionally assesed.
And please work in mm's not ct weight as it is size that matters, and the two rarely match up.
 
Thank you! Ok, next time I go to "the big city" where the jeweler is, I will bring the original ring in for him to assess.
Many thanks!
