hey mrsgardener,
if you''ve seen these all side by side and liked #1 the best, don''t second guess yourself...it probably is. you are in a far better position to judge these stones than we are. numbers don''t mean so much in fancy shapes and there is no better alternative than live comparison. go with what you like best.
i hope you will post some pics for us!

I agree with belle. Fancy cuts you can''t judge by the numbers alone. You have seen them and like #1 the best, so that''s the one!!! I love EC''s and look forward to seeing some pics.

 

[Mrsgardener]

Many Thanks Belle and Kaleigh for your advise. I proably will go with #1. I will get photos of my ring once I buy my new digital camera. Thanks again!

Definitely go with what you liked best! Numbers for fancies are hard to read without seeing the stone, but since you have already seen all three, then go with the best visual one! You won''t be walking around with a grading report on your finger

Another vote for #1... as little as numbers can tell, I would guess it is the brighter in the bunch because of the higher crown. It doesn't hurt that is the largest looking too

Whatever comments on a VVS2 cert... those will not mean much. There's no room fro meaningful imperfections with that grade, (EGL accounted for).


Just IMO, as usual

Thanks Rascal and Valeria for your response! This ring is a very personal item that has a story behind the money that is buying it..-- Thanks again!
