Need help picking diamonds for studs!

[muzio]

Hi all,

Hoping I can recruit your assistance in finding diamonds for studs. I'm looking at BGD and WF because I really like their 8 prong settings. I'm looking for ideal cut, eye clean, and happy to go as low as a K in colour in order to maximize size for the other specifications. Budget for the diamonds in $2800.

I've been poking through their matched pair offerings, but I would absolutely love to hear any suggestions!!

Here are nice matched pairs from both vendors:


.522ct K VS2 + .520ct J SI1 (near perfect cut match)

.515ct K VS2 + .514ct K SI1

Either of those should get you to where you need to be!

Thank you!!

Does BGD tend to be a little bit more pricy than WF in general? I get that the BGD pair is slightly larger and one of the diamonds is a J rather than a K -- is the difference in price about what would be expected for these differences regardless of retailer?
