I wouldn’t go with any one of those pairs. They all are SI2 clarity with a cloud mentioned in the first place which usually indicates a cloudy look.
How about going with the following pair?
I was a little slow (work, life and a 9 month sold keeping me super busy) because I see that one of the stones you recommended is sold. However , I had a question,
I have looked into similar stones that you recommended and found these .
Could you let me know which 2 are the best (from a quality and price wise) and that you would recommend for the 1ct stud earrings I’m looking to create.
Do not hesitate to tell me if they are ALL crappy. As always, I look forward to hearing your unbiased opinion.
Unfortunately, I can’t see any diamonds selected when I open the link you sent me.
But I found a diamond to the one that is still available. Here’s the new pair:
thanks.
I can see that the first stone you recommended has a big black crystal or stain on the lower right side or am I just being ignorant?
The second stone has multiple little black dots, will it not be visible?
They do have some inclusions, but the bigger ones on the edge would be covered with prongs and become invisible to the naked eye. And the tiny dots aren’t visible at all. Don’t forget that those stones are only 5mm in diameter.
I wouldn’t recommend diamonds that have visible imperfections.
Thanks!!
My pleasure.
