Help choosing WF ~2 ctw ACA diamonds for studs?

[turtleisland]

I’ve decided to buy new diamond studs and think it's worth the investment to go with WF ACAs. I'd like ~2ctw, but am not super stuck on the exact size as I know I can upgrade in the future, this will be my first set of really high quality diamond earrings, and I'd prefer to spend closer to 10k at the moment.

I've read a few threads here saying it's far better to pick your own pair of diamonds than to rely on WF's prematched selection, but I'm totally out of my depth in that regard. Would appreciate any insights, tips, and/or specific suggestions anyone might be willing to share!

There are 4 .8 H stones that like like they would be good options. What do you think about these?

Thank you for all of the great options. Though I was initially drawn to the G pair Kim N posted, I did want two ACAs, so I think I’ll be going with these. Thank you, tyty333!

Now I need to pick the setting! I’ve always had baskets (in smaller ctw), so I think I want to try martini. Any thoughts on 4 vs 6 prong in platinum at this size?

Thanks again!!!

How about the 3-prong martini? It'll showcase the diamonds beautifully.

I would personally go with their new I think 4 prong martini. I had my ACAs set into their 3 prong martini and I didn’t care for them. They just didn’t sit well on my ears. These however look like a dream. I’d go with these hands down

The base of them looks to be designed so they don’t sink into the piercings and stretch them over time. Which is always a possibility with standard martini setting. These look great.

Thank you! I actually did decide to go with the 4 prong martinis, and, Mrs Flowers, your perspective cinched it!

Super excited to receive them! Pricescope is such an awesome resource thanks to folks like those who weighed in here!
