Ok ... I'm *so* not an expert. But here's my 2cents ...

#6 doesn't seem good bc of paddling and a fair amount of pavilion twist.

#7 also seems to have a little bit more pavilion twist than the others. This one looks strange to me.

#8 has some pavilion twist and I think someone is wearing a blue shirt. I don't think that's real blue nuance. But there might be some paddling?

#9 seems to have been sold


They all have a touch of pavilion twist, but I don't know how much of an issue that is with earrings. Perhaps the experts will have more to say.

You've been having a lot of fun in your diamond journeys as of late! Yay!!

Thank you for your feedbacks. These are not for me personally. I am suddenly becoming a go-to person for my family and friends and I enjoy doing so. I feel burden that I keep coming back. The other day I was telling my cousin that I wish to have this in natural diamonds one day, then she asked is she can use my idea for lab and here we go…
 
I would prefer no pavilion twist just in case the stones will be made into something else than earrings.
 
The video for #9 still doesn’t appear. It might not have a video.

Let’s see what other ppl have to say. Getting a “no pavilion twist” diamond will definitely take more work and likely more money. As with all purchases, you have to weigh all the factors together.

This is harder when you’re doing it for someone else. But usually people just want the best diamond they can get for that money (as opposed to the best diamond ever).

Look at the pavilion twist yourself and see what degree you’re willing to tolerate as a recommendation. We’ll report what we see, but you’re the one who has to put all the pieces together for your friends and family. Hope that helps!
 
The best 4 to my eyes are 1, 2, 4, 8. I'd try to find two others rather than use 3, 5, 6, 7. I couldn't see a video for 9.
 
I wasn’t crazy about 3 or 5, either, but wasn’t sure if was being too picky. And now I know I wasn’t crazy for not being crazy :lol:

Glad to see you cleared 8. I thought that one was tricky.

Some of your recommendations are no longer available. I tried to look at the video but I am not sure I understand the twist. Can you pls take a look at these? Thanks.

I’m not crazy about 8. Overall these look better. But def wait to hear from an expert!

Twist is indicated by the black triangles at the bases of the arrows.

Here’s the thing. These stones always go fast, and you’re trying to match 6. You’ll have to start putting some on hold or you’ll be chasing your tail! :lol:

Here are my picks: 1, 3, 4, 7, 9. 5 if there's no alternative.

I agree with 0515vision about snapping up the best ones now before they're all gone and you have to start searching all over again.
 
We love photos, if you get a chance! These are going to be great huggies!
 
@0515vision @Kim N can you pls help me select one out of these? After 4 weeks of waiting or so, the vendor told me that they misplaced one of the stones for the huggies so I am back to search for this replacement. I prefer the 1st one simply due to quick turn around but its stat is probably the worst; otherwise another 4 weeks. Appreciate it.

The first one's cut precision isn't terrible but definitely worse than the others. I like 617472895 and 623444989 equally.
 
Thanks @Kim N for super quick response.
 
I’m late to the party again! Sadness!!
Can’t wait to see photos of these huggies!!!
