hey all! I’m upgrading my Whiteflash studs and would like opinions on the pair I chose. I trust they will be nice, but I’d like to hear from the experts!
Thanks!

Hi. I’m not an expert. They look beautiful to me, but, and maybe this is normal, it looks like some of the images have white spaces. I’ve never seen this in any other images I’ve looked at. Could just be something wrong with the image. But, the videos look good to me. Wait for the experts to chime in.

They found you a lovely match. This is splitting hairs, but the specs on this stone are a bit closer to the 1.15.

Similar to what tyty333 suggested, I would ask for a side-by-side video of all three and pick the two that are a better match performance-wise.

I like the 1.136 that @Kim N found. Looking at the fire videos it appears to be a little more lively than the 1.12, at least to my eyes. Keep in mind, we're talking minor nuances here.
The thing I dislike about the 1.151 is the clarity. To me, the twinning wisps and surface graining makes the stone appear a little hazy. It's mostly noticeable in the fire video where the stone is flooded with light. And while it's easily detectable in a very zoomed video and those intense light conditions, it may not be visible to the naked eye in normal lighting. However, I would want some human eyes to verify that for me if I were purchasing. And I'd ask those human eyes to be very critical on my behalf in both normal & flooded light environments.
Here's another contender. Proportion wise, it's further apart, but it's also a VS2 and looking at the fire videos it appears to visually perform the same as the 1.136. It is slightly smaller at 1.115 (not to be confused with the 1.151, lol) but dimensional difference is so minor it will never be detectable to the naked eye (and is essentially the same size as the 1.12).
Also, putting ALL these stones in a COMPARE view so you can see the specs and images more clearly. However, this view is best viewed on a computer as opposed to cell phone.
