SOS! Matching Pair of Loose Stones~Which ones?

[Sparkly_Sparkle]

Hello, sorry to be such a pain as I still havent made up mind about which studs I will be buying. I have been talking to WF/ BGD so far WF has the best service so far! They actually rang me within minutes of emailing an enquiry to Australia! Thats what I call service! I hope to finalise everything by early next week. Came across James Allen with their hearts and arrows collection. How do they match up with WF ACAs? I have choosen 3 to compare from JA, which looks pretty fine to me and the price is a little lower then WF (and I can get a bit more carat from JA). But are they worth it? Please give me your 2 cents worth and help me get my very first pair of diamond studs!

Woooo, yay for you s_s, I have a pair of studs from WF about to embark on the long journey home to mamma here in Aus too! The JA stones look fine, but WF has a better return policy than most, which is one reason I went with WF, as it is imperative that the ability to upgrade my studs is in my future

And them yummy WF ACAs are deeeelicious!!

I've ordered studs from WF twice. The ability to trade-in is a major plus to me. Of those 3 JA stones, I'd eliminate #918 because the crown angle goes below 34 and it is not as good of a match as the other two as far as consistency of specs. However, my WF ones are usually a closer match than these because they are cutting their stones to a more narrow set of specs, usually.

I think they would all match fine for studs, the diameters overlap and specs look similar enough. The hearts don't look perfect but I think they would make an excellent pair of studs. I would call JA and ask which 2 would make the best matching pair
