Well what's best depends on what you find more important. Have you seen these stones in person? Which one would you pick based on what they looked like? Do you want a stone thats really white? Can you see the difference between the F and the I? If you can't then I is the way to go. Personally I would not go below G unless the stone had medium fluorescence ( But I can tell the F from the I). As far as clarity is conserned do you care if the stone has little specs that you might never see? I think VS2 and SI1 stones offer the best value - however an eye clean SI2 stone could be be even better (if you can find it). So about these three here: The first one is a bit too deep meaning it will look the smallest -diameter wise- from the three. Everything else seems ok (unless crown and pavillion angles change everything. It has the potential of looking a bit whiter than #3 because of the faint fluorescence. Number 2 will definitelly be the biggest looking and whitest one of all. However if you plan to set the stone into prongs the very thin girdle will be prone to chipping. There is also a chance that the iclussions will be visible to you because its an SI2. Number 3 has the most balanced proporsions of the three (still a bit out of the ideal range) but I think the VS1 clarity is overkill. Check this Heart and Arrows stone: http://search.virtcert.com/cgi/u/1012/v.cgi?stock=1739756&_s=1012&_p=sdf348gd743&_c=&_fs=1&prestock=&_ln=ps Also these AGS 0 http://search.virtcert.com/cgi/u/1012/v.cgi?stock=2003696&_s=1012&_p=sdf348gd743&_c=&_fs=1&prestock=&_ln=ps http://search.virtcert.com/cgi/u/1012/v.cgi?stock=1975583&_s=1012&_p=sdf348gd743&_c=&_fs=1&prestock=&_ln=ps These stones are available at other Pricescope vendors too. Do a search for yourself and you'll find some more. Hope this is helpfull. Melina
