Are they all the same CTW?

 

[Kalliope]

#3 is the largest, #4 the smallest (with a 0.2mm difference in diameter), #1 and #2 are in the middle with nearly the same ct weight und diameter.

Then I vote #2.

Blue Nile has nice affordable settings, its the highest color, and the secs are nice.

Plus its the second cheapest and tied for second biggest.

 

[Kalliope]

Thanks Niel!

Anyone else?

Edit: Noooo, I just realized that I messed up the #s, #2 is the smallest, #3 the largest . Niel, would you still vote for #2?

#4 is my favorite if it's not too much more, if so, I choose # 1

So I found the stone that I originally wanted to buy from BN (BN says it's currently not avalaible) at another vendor who provides IS (and charges 275$ more than BN ). What do you think of it:

I am not a fan of SI clarity stones when you're overseas, because returning something that does not meet your clarity approval is a nightmare, so I would probably avoid an SI clarity in that regard. Unless you're ok with it possibly not being eyeclean to your standards.

So I would probably go with 4 or 1. I think #4 is probably the nicest, followed by #1, closely behind. Both look lovely, and the clarities of both look like they'd meet eye clean approval in person.

Thanks ame for chiming in !

You're right, I absolutely want to avoid a return so the stone has to be "perfect" for me. That's why I was also looking at Ritani as they provide videos but unfortunately they do not provide idealscopes.I really like the size of #3 (as it would hit the 0.7 mark) and with that video I'm quite sure it would be eyeclean, but am not sure if it's going to be a real sparkler.
