Need help in finalizing a diamond

[tipsi]

Hello Pricescopers,
I have been researching 1c diamonds for my wife. Based on what I have learned, and looking at the sites recommended by pricescopers, I have shortlisted to the following diamonds. can you please provide your opinion on which one you think I should go with.

All are hearts and arrows and meet HCA criteria and are ideal cut (0 or 1). As far as I can tell idealscope looks very similar on all of these and I am stumped on how to pick one.

I appreciate your help.

Of those, 1 and 2 are a tie for me.

Do you have to have hearts and arrows? Read this: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/likelihood-of-finding-a-signature-super-ideal-diamond.174235/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/likelihood-of-finding-a-signature-super-ideal-diamond.174235/[/URL]

Because you can get a great diamond, through whiteflash, without the hearts and arrows and hit a full carat. I mean with your budget I just think it would be a shame not to hit a full carat.

You would just ask them for a GIA Ex with an HCA score under 2. H VS2 and eyeclean. 1 full carat. and a crown angle above 34 and a pavillion angle less than 41.

That should do it. And they can provide you with an idealscope of it when they get it in for you.

Hi Gypsy,
Thanks for your kind reply. I would certainly like to save money or reach 1 caret. However, these diamonds are the cheapest on whiteflash. I looked at gog, bg and ja also. Here are 4 others I could find that are similar caret size but slightly cheaper. So these will save me money.

I have requested the ideal scope images on these 3 but do any of these look decent to you compared to the choice at wf

Hello gypsy,
I asked Whiteflash to find a diamond for me based on the criteria you had mentioned. They came back with this one. Can you please take a look if this is worth getting in house to get ideal scope?
