Update:
I am currently considering buying two more stones (total 6) and making 3 stone - huggie hoops. Most huggies seem to be made with max 20 point stones so it gives me pause to use 34 pointers, but don't we all have DSS? I am not a fan of my gargantuan detached lobes so have never focused on them but that is a huge gap in my collections. I normally wear VCA pave sweets daily. My friend recently gifted me silver huggie hoops and I kind of like the look.
Happy to hear opinions, mostly just wanted to update everyone who is hanging on with baited breath for my earth shattering reveal.

They would be beautiful I am sure! If this is a good alternative for you in place of the five stone ring, go for it!
I’ve actually moved away from custom projects because the options are overwhelming. I’m looking more are branded and antique/vintage pieces
Huggies like you describe are also on my personal collection wish list so I think it could be good for you too! You obviously are not craving a dive stone anymore so this could work well.
--Totally-- understand that feeling.
I did a custom project for wedding earrings they turned out great (good vendor, help from PS) but --oh my-- it was a bit much for me.
I’d probably ask them to source what I need rather than do the legwork. They have good customer service so I’d use it.
When I first reached out they told me they only have available what's posted online in terms of certified ACA's. They do have a "coming soon" pipeline so hopefully that has more options. It would definitely be a mind clean thing for me to have all ACAs for this. Even though it's only my ears and I would be the only one who knows. I'll email my contact Monday once I'm sure I like the look of fakes.
I get it. From a cut perspective I would be ok with their expert selections. In that size it would truly be indistinguishable. You might have a wait a while for ACAs. As you said it’s unlikely they are making many. They could probably find an WC that would fit their selection criteria doe ACAs, or close enough.
Hmmm... I forgot about their expert selections. that's a great option. I'll need to pull the trigger quickly so I don't change my mind again. What's nice is that the prices have fallen about 40% on this size since I bought my first five. I'll get almost two for the price of one!
Does this mean you think the 0.1mm difference would matter?
Personally I don’t think it will matter, my hoops have one stone each that is 0.1mm bigger than the rest and the jeweller managed that just fine while setting. It’s completely indistinguishable when worn and even when I’m holding it in my hand I have to really squint to see. But it is towards the bottom, and my hoops have 10-11 stones along the front of the hoop, not 3; which helps disguise it.
No it won’t matter. My five stone diamond vary by a max of like .4 lol and even then you can see (though the setting helps)
Nope.
(Tried to put in star eye emoji but I guess I can’t use Apple emojis? )
Perhaps in a more open basket setting it would be more obvious. And in earrings in you like examining your earrings with a loupe and are very anxious about your jewellery being perfect it would matter. But I think it won’t matter 0.1mm is so tiny!
Can they put it next to a diamond the size you want to compare? Maybe one that is the wrong color?
Wow those must be a statement! Thank you. I’ll see what Whiteflash reports back to me. My vision is pretty terrible so as long as it isn’t jarring hopefully my mind will accept it.
