I need help deciding on a diamond from James Allen site. I have done some basic research so I know about avoiding extreme girdles, table, depth percentage and so on. I am basically looking for a good princess cut diamond H or I, 1.5-1.8 carat, VS1 - Si1, True Hearts - Ideal.
Now I have narrowed down to the selections below and I have a question regarding the dark, black spots showing inside of the diamonds. If one diamond has more darker facets, does that mean that the lights are not being reflected properly? If it has less dark facets, does that mean the diamond is more dull? (less sparkling)
Any of them below good diamonds for the price? I am not looking to spend more than 10K. Also I realize that James Allen will only provide Ideal Scope images for up to two diamonds per customer, so I will get them once I decide on final two. Thank you so much in helping me choose.
