ADDENDUM::
AHHHH! The diamond I wanted (1.29 I SI1 GOG) got sold!!
However, Jonathon at GOG suggested this stone:
replacement GOG
I think its pretty good but I want to hear some opinions. Here are the stats and some more pictures:
Carat Weight: 1.21
Clarity: VS1
Color: J
Shape: Round brilliant
Cut External
Polish: GIA ~ Excellent
Symmetry: GIA ~ Excellent
Proportions: AGS ~ Ideal
Symmetry ~ Hearts & Arrows
Light Return ~ Excellent
Price ~ $ 5,662.
Bank wire discount ~ $ 5,538.
Brilliance Scope: VH VH VH
Isee2: 9.7
eye clean
face white
Again, same questions... Is this a super bright diamond that will make my gf's friends jealous (her criteria )?
Would this look good in a platinum setting?
Thanks so much for all the answers so far!

Hello all,
If you have the inclination, please take a look at these two diamonds and tell me your thoughts.
I'm trying to maximize bang for buck, i.e. if I can't see a defect (or color) without really paying attention and looking closely, its fine by me. With that said, I'd like a ring that's ~1.25 carats and as brilliant and scintillating as possible
I'm aiming for I-G, SI1-VS1, medium flouresence ...)
Choice 2:
Good Old Gold
here
Carat Weight: 1.29
Clarity: SI1
Color: I
Shape: Round brilliant
Polish: GIA ~ Excellent
Symmetry: GIA ~ Excellent
Proportions: AGS ~ Ideal
Symmetry ~ Hearts & Arrows
Light Return ~ Excellent
Price ~ $ 6,186.
Bank wire discount ~ $ 6050.
The brilliance scope is VH VH VH!
Two questions:
Will you be able to see the occlusions from hands length?
Will either of these diamonds look good in a platinum setting?
Thanks for all your help guys!
