Please help me pick my side stones

[snoopkat]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering changing the setting of my engagement ring and adding 2 accent stones to complement my sapphire centre stone. I've found 4 stones from Whiteflash within my budget that has the exact same weight and am hoping someone can help me pick 2 of them.

From my inexperienced eyes, these 4 stones are pretty much identical with the only differences being 2 of them have excellent cut and 2 have very good cut. One of them has a very thin-thick girdle, not sure what that means.

I know PSers generally value cut above everything else, my question is given that the side stones are meant to complement and not compete with my centre stone, does the cut really matter all that much in this instance? To me, these 4 stones are much of the sameness so it wouldn't really matter which 2 I end up picking.

If it were me, I would go for the 2 Excellent cut stones.

Is there a big difference between the 2 cuts given that the stones are fairly small?

Yes!! Excellent/ideal cut should always be the first priority!
