So my wife has a birthday coming up, and I think a pair of earrings will fit the bill for a gift small enough to hide in luggage. I've previously bought her smallish studs, plus jackets, and significantly upgrading them is likely out of budget. I never see her wear big dangly earrings or hoops, but I'm thinking huggies would be a nice compromise...more bling without being a snag hazard. I've looked at WF, BGD, and IDJ. The X-mounts from BGD are the most attractive mount to my eye, and I love their cuts, but the price at IDJ is significantly lower and would allow bigger stones. My concerns are whether the reduced specs are visible to the naked eye in melee stones Obviously in a perfect world, I'd get the mount and cut I want, but I have to consider price/bang for buck too. Searching these forums shows people are happy with the huggies from all three vendors (and Costco, apparently, but they're not currently selling a huggie style as far as I can tell).
Sooo...are G-H color, SI clarity, and/or non H&A cut visibly poorer without a loupe in 15 or 20 pointers?
