Is it worth the extra cost to pay for ideal cut .25 or .33 ct total weight earrings?

I am considering buying a small pair of diamond earrings, either .25 ct total weight or .33 ct total weight. Is it worth the extra cost to get an ideal cut pair? Or will a pair from etsy look just the same? Anyone with experience please advise. Thank you!

Do you ever think you'll want to go up in size? One benefit with super ideals (besides the cut) is that most of the vendors have
easy upgrade policies.

TBH, if you clean your earrings basically ever, they'll probably be more sparkly than most peoples lol. Earrings get majorly ignored by the majority of the population (not on PS of course ;-) ), so you'll already be miles ahead even if you had non-ideal cut diamonds.

Yes, it would be worth it to me to get super ideals, but that's me. It may not be worth it to you.

Hmmm, that's true. I hadn't thought of that.

Thank you everybody, that's what I needed to know. I wasn't sure on diamonds this small if you would be able to tell. But if ya'll can see a difference then there must be one. I do want them to glimmer as much as possible so I will go with the ideals. Thank you!
