which diamond pair would you pick

[Lookinagain]

I'm considering upgrading my diamond studs and these are the two pair that I seem to be finding. I'm going from a pair of ACA's that are 5.6mm, H, SI. I think going to I color will be fine. Is it worth giving up a little size to move to VS2?

Not to me personally because who is going to be THAT close to your ears?!?!? I'd go with larger, less expensive SI1's that are marked as eye clean for sure!!

 

[skypie]

I would say no. As long as you are going from eye clean to eye clean, bigger is better!

I'd prob go with the SI1 pair too. They hit the 6mm mark and save you $!

 

[Lookinagain]

thank you both. Any comments on the stones otherwise before I move forward? Will the "additional clouds not shown" on the cert be an issue with ACA's?

Agreed - the I SI1's. What a great trade up! Congratulations!

IS DKJ setting them for you? What sort of style, @Lookinagain?

 

[ac117]

Definitely not....WF fully vet stones so I wouldn't be worried. However, it doesn't hurt to ask them to pull the stones and confirm!

I'm going to have WF put them in the 8 prong. I really like those. My current stones are set that way and I also helped a friend buy a pair with the same setting. But I do have a ring project going with DK!
