Please Help Me! Whiteflash 2ctw Custom Crown Stud Settings seem off...

[Lookinagain]

Update: They are AMAZING! I opened these on Christmas Eve Eve and have only taken them off to sleep! I LOVE them!

I honestly prefer these settings to the Sasha Primaks that my 1.4ctw K ACA studs reside in. I have a stretched piercing on one side, and these sit much better. It may just be the size of the diamond, though. Maybe my ears just prefer BIGGER! Lol

Here are a few pics. These are about 2 ctw. One is a 1.064 BGD J SI1 stone plucked from a Real Real ring, and the other is a .994 Whiteflash J SI1 ACA. There is an inclusion somewhere on the ACA that makes it not eye clean, but for the life of me, I can't see it. I got it for what seemed like a bargain, too, and I THINK I can see the size difference in the box sometimes, but on my ears, I think they're a great match!

All in, I spent about $6500 for these studs. I am THRILLED! I didn't want to spend too much on the second stone because it would "lessen" the deal I got on the first, and I really didn't want to upgrade one of my 1.4 ctw. I also didn't want to compromise on cut or color.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in to reassure me about the settings! I really do love them and appreciate the support!

Beautiful! Great size on you. What a nice gift to yourself.

Is there any chance you could post a pic of the old earring and the new one? Curious to see the size/setting comparison.
The WF settings are perfection and look amazing on you!

Thank you so much! I really do love them!

I take horrible pics, but I will definitely get the other ones out and try to take some comparison photos for you. It may be a day or two. Things are a little nuts here!

I finally got around to taking some comparison shots between the 1.4 ctw K ACA studs in the Sasha Primak settings, and the 2 ctw J ACA and BGD studs in the custom crown six prong setting by Whiteflash. Both sets are in platinum.

I hope the pics do justice to how much larger the 2ctw studs look on the ear. I was really surprised and happy!

Of note, they do feel different. The post of the Sasha Primak is longer (you can see that in the pic) and, I think, a bit thicker. The rubbery backs I use from Amazon don't fit as tightly on the new ones.

I hope these pics will help folks who are trying to decide on size and between the two settings!

Thank you for posting these. The pics are so helpful! The size difference is definitely noticeable!! Love them both but especially your new ones! So gorgeous!

Both beautiful on your ear.
