Thoughts on Side diamonds?

[D&T]

Is important for me to Match up my side diamonds with my Center? I currently have a K ACA but I''m in the process of talking with BGD on his diamonds for the sides of about .3carat ish each to make a three stone, then I started browsing on other vendors.. and found a few from Blue nile for AGS ideal cut sides, and well I''m all confuse.. btw.. all of these side stones are J ideal.. what do you all recommend? just be done and get BGD or ACAs..

It is recommended to keep centre and side stones within 2 colour grades of each other, with a K colour I would consider J's in preference to lowering to I colour in this scenario. If Brian has some great J's in then I would ask his opinion on how he thinks they would look with a K ACA, he should definitely be able to advise you! Personally I would rather choose from a vendor who can physically see the diamonds to get the best result in this situation rather than buy blind from a vendor who does not have the diamonds in house.

Ditto Lorelei, I/J''s would look best and it would be helpful to have someone actually look at how they look in person.

Well I am just thinking about the colour of my centre stone and the colour of the diamonds in my new Brian Gavin band. I don''t want there to be too much of a colour difference... just don''t tell TGal because I promised her I wouldn''t change my diamond for at least a year.
