So I have put my finalists on hold and am asking for the experts to chime in. I can not thank everyone enough that helped me through the process and posted pics of their rings throughout the forum to help educate me on the ring buying process. I would like opinions on which stone to buy (all 3 are on hold). Please stack rank if possible with a brief explanation if possible.

Here are the 3 stones (in no specific order):

For me, these are easy to rank -

1. 1.183ct
2. 1.207ct
3. 1.208ct

I prefer the fatter arrows on the 1.183 vs. the 1.207. I am leery of the inclusions on the table on the 1.208.

Seems like you arent a fan of the Brian Gavin stone, do you like the 1.183 much more than the 1.207? I am just trying to get multiple opinions.

IMO...The crown is too shallow.

The 1.183 and 1.207 are pretty close, and I would need to see them in person to make a definitive decision. My general preference is for the fatter arrows, which is why I preferred the 1.183.

If I were in your position, I would try to get with a Whiteflash gemologist on the phone and have them compare the two stones for you. Whiteflash may also provide some side-by-side images, if you think that would help.

Regardless, if you go with the 1.183 or 1.207, you will end up with a great stone!
