I have been using pricescope for a couple of months now. I have learned so much about diamonds and rings, more than I thought I would have ever dreamed I would.

I have been working my way trying to find the right diamond for an engagement ring. I started out with 25 diamonds that I liked and whittled it down to 6 that meet all of my specifications and my price. I know that 6 is a lot to choose from but I want to make sure that I have picked 6 good diamonds to choose from.

I just keep looking at these diamonds and they are starting to look the same and I really need another set of eyes. If everyone could please look at these diamonds and let me know if there are any problems with them. Also, can you please let me know which diamond you think is the best.

Diamond 1: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-2176286.htm#
HCA 1.1

Diamond 2: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-2169543.htm#
HCA 1.1

Diamond 3: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-2176285.htm#
HCA 1.1

Diamond 4: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-2176287.htm#
HCA 1.0

Diamond 5: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/Whiteflash-ACA-cut-diamond-2163477.htm#
HCA 1.1

Diamond 6:http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1225109.asp?b=16&a=12&c=77&cid=131
HCA 1.0

I would appreciate any input you have about these diamonds and their quality.

you're going to get very little replies because they all look the same to us, too. they are all good choices. if you narrow the choices down to 3, you might get some more answers...

You really can't go wrong with any of the Whiteflash ACA stones. Out of the first three, I would pick the one that's the least expensive. Or, if you can spend the extra money, Diamond #4 is also a lovely ACA and will get you to the magic 3/4 carat mark. I'm not sure if you'll be able to see the difference between .75 and .80, but, again, the .80 Diamond #5 is a lovely stone. Depends on your budget and how much going from approx. $7600 to approx. $3200 would hurt your budget.

The James Allen looks nice, too, but I wouldn't purchase that one unless you've seen the hearts images for it. If it's marketed as an H&A stone, you'll want to make sure the hearts are cut to H&A standards before you pay the H&A premium.

ETA: But don't wait too long to decide, because stones tend to get sold once they are posted here (sometimes lurkers snatch them out from under people -- it's called poaching); if you are leaning more toward one stone, let the vendor know and get it on hold ASAP!

Welcome ss book,

If you are unsure which to pick, see if Bob at WF can look at them and help you decide, he has a very experienced eye and will help you choose the best one.

The JA diamond looks promising, you would need to request a hearts image as it is sold as h&a.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...
