Hi All,

I picked up 3 pairs of stones from vc,wf and bg. I will have them on a 3 prong Martini Setting. My preference is ideal cut , 1.4-1.5 ctw, H-I Color and eye clean. Any suggestions about my selections? Which one will give me the best result?
Thanks.






 
thats too hard for people to process - learn a bit and narrow down to 2 maybe?
 
Actually, the pair from WF match the best in terms of specs and if you pay by wire, they are less expensive so why would you pass on those?

I would prefer the higher H color over the I from BGD so I really didn’t consider them.
 
I like the smaller table size and larger mm size of the BGD. I just recently acquired a BGD and it is stunning. I’m planning on getting new studs, as well, and I’m totally going to go with BGD for them. I’m willing to spend more than I had initially planned on and get smaller size than initially thought because I’m so impressed, as is my husband. Also, I’ve received excellent treatment from Brian, Lesley, and Jamie. I know that they are having some specials right now, so you should definitely inquire. I believe they are offering 10% off a stone right now. I don’t know if that would apply to 2 stones. They just recently (like just a few days ago) had a buy 1 stone, get the 2nd (as in the case of earrings) at 15% off... I would think for many businesses, things may be a little slow right now in light of the pandemic, so maybe they would extend to you the earring special, it never hurts to ask. But 10% off a diamond right now for sure.I also think that if you sign up for their emails on the website you get $100 off a purchase, I’ve seen that before. Also, you are probably saving a little with respect to that pair because 1 of the stones is an SI1.
With all that said, as @MissGotRocks has mentioned, the BGD are I color. I am color sensitive so I wouldn’t go below H, but even that is too tinted for me so I’m probably the wrong person to give advice on color. But I do feel going from H to I is a dividing line. Do they have anything in H that will fit your budget? Are you just sourcing from the website or have you called them? If you haven’t called, I would because they might have something not listed on the website. I didn’t see where they aren’t a good match... their mm size and tables are virtually identical.
I have not owned anything from WF or VC so I can’t speak for them personally, except for hearing great things here on PS about them both.
 
Thanks all suggestions. I will research some H stones on BGD again. I know they had 15% off earlier. As long as I can find the lovely stone, I wouldn’t mind about 5% discount.
 
That pair looks good. Here’s another BG stone that will match and save you a few hundred dollars.
