We would need to see pictures of the stones to be able to tell anything. Has the recipient asked for this shape stone for earrings? I ask because it would not be a shape I would choose for studs because keeping them turned the right way would be sort of a pain.

thanks for the reply. yes, it's the cut she prefers. I don't have pictures of the stones unfortunately. i was hoping just the cert specs would be ok

i never thought of the fact that the studs would spin in the ear.

regardless of that, any thoughts?

diamondseeker is right...with any shape other than round you really can't go by the numbers.
