hey md! in order to get some responses to your question regarding choosing a diamond, you are going to have to provide more information. as it is, you have 6 diamonds, all with very similar depth and table percentages...that in itself is not enough to single out a potential winner. if you have more information, please post it.....i''m sure then you will get plenty of helpful advice!! best of luck!!

I figure that you are not particular to any one vendor since you asked about some website, so here are some other stones in that range with cut information:

1.02 G VS2 for $6225 (Price after PS discount). This stone scores a 1.5 (excellent) on the HCA and has a nice looking ideal scope image.

1.02 G VS2 H&A for $6240 2.0 on the HCA

1.00 G VS2 for $6310 1.8 on the HCA and even nicer ideal scope image (probably explains the price difference from the first one despite being slightly smaller).

I went to search by cut and searched for G VS2 1.00-1.05 stones with excellent cuts according to the HCA. There were 15 results ranging from $6025 to $7324 (White Flash''s "A Cut Above" stones were selling for more than the others). I would recommend checking these stones out instead of having to seek it out from the site you found the stones on. The 15 stones were from three different vendors (just didn''t want you to think I was plugging a particular vendor).

GIA does not call any diamond "Ideal" yet. What makes these guys "Ideal" ?

If it is the seller''s rating based on GIA cert... I would not put allot of weight on that. Each seller has a different "ideal" like that.

Otherwise, these are obviously the same size, color and safely eye clean; since polish and symmetry grades do not really make any visual impact any of the six is just as good a guess.
