Bellerina Pendant - Choosing the Diamond

[operabuff57]

Hi all, I'm a first-time poster and overall diamond rookie. I've never purchased a diamond before (my engagement ring is a .9 stone that was my mother's). But I've been lurking for some time - there is a lot to learn!

After looking at at ton of pendant options, I've decided to move forward with the WF Bellerina Pendant

I'm interested in a ~.75 stone, which is the largest size the "off-the-shelf" pendant will accept without going custom. I'm less concerned about a specific budget number than getting appropriate value for a diamond that will be a) seen as a pendant and b) be placed in this particular setting. I've read elsewhere on PS that cut is very important on a bezel setting because light is only coming in the front on the stone.

Here are two stones that were suggested:

This one also, though it is slightly smaller (.63)

The first two seem roughly equivalent to me... Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I'd pick the H VS2 personally. I think you'll be happy you went with that size, and this stone looks so much cleaner than the G SI1.

Diamondseeker, thank you for your reply. I see what you mean about the inclusions. It is supposedly eye-clean but I think I will go with your suggestion.
