ok here''s the deal.. i''m close to pulling the trigger on a purchase, but still haven''t found the "perfect" diamond, which would be an ideal hearts and arrows round ideal cut, clear (D-F), and with high clarity. the choices now (all ideal cut AGS 0 h/a rounds, formated as carat/color/clarity/polish/symm/proportions):
1.2 F/VVS2/id/id/id --> HCA 1.4 high/VH/VH on brilliancescope around $12k
1.2 F/VS1/id/id/id --> HCA 1.1, triple VH on brilliancescope around $11k
1.5 F/VVS2/ex/ex/id --> HCA 1.2, high/VH/high on brilliancescope at $18k
1.6 D/VS2/ex/ex/id --> HCA 1.0, triple VH on brilliancescope around $18k
cost is a consideration, but if they are truly better, i may be able to pay the higher dollar amt. size is a slight factor, but not top priority.
is there one of these stones that is a "better" deal? i imagine the 2 triple VHs would look better to the naked eyes (the lightscopes appear to look a bit better to the untrained eye). are these prices too high for what i''m getting? in an ideal world, i''d want a 1.4 F/IF/id/id/id with triple VH... but that''s not exactly the easiest thing to find. i need to make a decision soon. please help!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE.
