I currently have earrings that are uncerted but according to the jeweler I bought them from they are 1.17cttw H color and one is an SI2 while the other is an SI3. The SI3 is cut pretty well. You can see some arrows and mostly red and black with the idealscope but you can also see the inclusion as a white spot using the idealscope. The SI2 is awful. Lots of white around the perimeter of the table. When they get the least bit dirty, they just don''t sparkle. That is why I am looking into ideal cut earrings. The kicker is, I like the size (really diameter) of my current earrings but am willing to go slightly larger. I measured them and they are about 5.37 mm. I wanted to keep in the G/H color range and SI1/SI2 clarity range.
I have done a little searching for diamond pairs and have found three options so far. They all have HCA between 1.1 and 1.6. I wanted to spend around $3K. I plan on setting them in a simple platinum basket setting. Which would you pick? and do you think I color is too low?

Thanks.
