Will I notice the size difference in these studs?

[SMC]

I jumped on the BGD earrings deal today and purchased this pair of BGD Blues: http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamond_pair_comparisions/compared_diamond_details/BLAGS-104068959006/BLAGS-104068959010

One stud is 0.518ct and measures 5.14 x 5.18 x 3.17. The other is 0.534ct and measures 5.19 x 5.23 x 3.21. I'm setting them in plain platinum bezels. Will I be able to see the 0.05mm size difference between the two stones? I know that normal people wouldn't be able to see the size difference with my face in between them, but what about if they were side-by-side? I have average eyesight - it would bug me if I could see the difference in size though.

Jamie at BGD assured me that they were excellent matches but I wanted to get some opinions from PSers.

Thanks!

Now I see what you got - love them! I bet you won't see a difference in size. Tell me why you chose the bezel. I want data points to consider for mine! And have you ever bought the blues before? I love them but have never seen one in person.

I bought bezels primarily because they add width to the stone and make them look bigger. I am also biased towards bezel settings (my ering is a semi-bezel). I love how clean they look. Also, I bought J color stones so I believe that surrounding them in white metal might make them look whiter.

I've never bought BGD Blues before but my ering stone is also J color with medium blue fluorescence. I don't think I'm color sensitive because my stone looks plenty white to me. I figure that blue fluorescence can only help my J colored stones and I'm absolutely confident in BGD quality.

It never occurred to me to try to find matching OECs or AVRs as I love the sparkle and fire of MRBs. I think you have a hard decision to make as they're very different looks.

i don't think you'll see a difference.

I think they can make the bezels the same size and therefore have them look the same. But we probably couldn't see the difference. I'd tell them I'd like a side by side image before having them set, though, just for peace of mind.

That is the most excellent suggestion! I emailed Jamie asking her for a picture. Thank you!

Got a picture! I don't think the size difference is noticeable so I'm going to proceed with the earrings!

WOW these are amazing!
