Studs: BN Preset vs. WF Ready Set to Go

[bichoo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to decide between two present studs from BN and WF. The ones in question are:

https://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-earrings/3-prong-martini-diamond-earrings-305.htm

Looking to get 0.25 or 0.50. As we know, the cut is most important and what worries me about BN is is the cut is only "Good", whereas the cut at WF is ideal cut. I've dealth with BN before and was about to jump on these, but I'm not convinced anymore. Which one would you go for? Is the WF worth it? Its also cheaper.

if it is cheaper and the cut is better what do you mean by is it worth it?

the page you linked to WF is settings-only btw - the WF 0.25s (plat 3prong martinis or 4prong baskets) are still cheaper than BNs (and you are guaranteed cut quality), but not quite so much cheaper

I would always go with WF over BN. Blue Nile is too expensive for their product IMO.

I would go with the WF studs. Their expert selection stones are lovely!
