Medium blue fluorescence is nothing to worry about.

.

. There is an example for 35° crown and 41° pavilion angles to play with (file T57 C35.0 P41.0.gem). You'll be able to see light leakage and evaluate light return for this type of stones. Compare it with other combination of crown and pavilion angles like 34.5° and 40.5° (file T57 C34.5 P40.75.gem).

These are going to be better than most pairs of stones found in earrings. There may be a tiny difference bewteen them, but it is likkely that they will be very much the same in appearance...The VS2 is very little less for two clarity grades difference....

Hi! I am no expert...just a girl hoping for a rock sometime soon. Your 1st rock (.75)score a 2.1 on cut advisor, and the .78 score a 2.6. Those are considered "very good" but I think you can do better for the money. Consider going to a H or so in color and stick with VS1-SI1. This will save you a few bucks with no real visible difference in appearance( unless you just like perfection). Like I said, I am no expert, but that's my 2 cents!
