Everyone will tell you that you need to list the crown and pavilion angles for us to really advise you. But with this limited info, I like the numbers on #3 the best so far.




~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

Are these all AGS0's?

If so, I'd go with 1 or 3, I don't like the slightly thin girdle on 2.

Then, it's color over size. Your call. Both should be nice.

Yes, these are all AGS0's. I was also concerned with the girdle as well but wanted to get other opinions from you guys.

Thanks.

I noticed that, but I think it should say "thin to slightly thick". Don't think it can say "slightly thin".

I just liked the table size of #3 better than #2, but #2 is probably fine.

Thanks for the replies. I am leaning towards the third choice as well. I am just having anxiety problems right now. This is a huge decision and I just want to make the right one.
I'll tell you guys my choice when I make one.

Now that you say that, yeah, it makes more sense. I was thinking he reversed them. Didn't know there wasn't a slightly thin for AGS girdles, since they have slightly thick. But I looked it up and it's, very and extremely.

I'd still go with 1 or 3.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update. I've decided on the third diamond. It's from Whiteflash and I am going to be setting it in the Legato Sleek Line setting. Hopefully it should be here in the middle of next week and the big day should be next weekend.

Thanks again for all the information and help.
