Opinions on 2 diamonds for studs

[Butterfly123]

Hello Everyone
I am still in search for the perfect diamonds for my studs. I will appreiciate if you can comment on these 2 stones from PS vendor.
Does the price increase if you let's say go over 1 ct or does it make no difference if I stay in .9 ct range?
I was not sure about color I but the vendor said that they are facing white and no inclusions.
The stones cost $ 10 K.

Can I do better?? I appreciate any input!!

I was going to say wow what a perfectly matched pair- then saw you posted the same stone twice- same numbers

Those are a terrific match! It is a nice idea to buy some in the .90 range to avoid the 1 ct. premium, however, finding two well matched stones in that range would not be easy at all. It''s a lot easier to match 1 ct. stones because there are so many more cut to that size.

Thank you for your responses.
I read here that many people purchased ACA''s from Whiteflash and rave about their studs. Are these 2 stones close or maybe even to ACA''s? Whiteflash does not have .9ish in their stock in the moment and I am wondering if I should wait or go ahead and purchase these?
Thank you!

If they are in your budget, you should probably get them. You might wait a very loooooonnnng time to get stones that are .9ish and a perfect match.
