Well, I asked everyone for comments regarding my idea, and then I asked if I should buy a diamond now or wait, and it was a resounding "buy now" so only one thing left to do.....buy a diamond.

Here are my options......which one should I go for/do you think is best?

#2 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-912907.htm
#3 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-912905.htm
#4 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-737789.htm
#5 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-636622.htm
#6 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-636622.htm
#7 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-737788.htm
#8 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-906696.htm
#9 - http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-78273.htm  (This one is an SI2, but looks fairly eye-clean to me)

Thanks to everyone for being such a HUGE help and such great diamond educators.  This has been a wonderful experience.  Finding this website has been like winning the lottery....

Thats a lot of choices, I think it is hard for us to pick from almost identical stones like that. Color is your preference, and as long as they are eye-clean, which you need to ask the vendor, then all is good. Why don't you call WF and ask them to tell you which one is the most beautiful? They are honest about that stuff.

Narrow it down to 2 or 3 and you'll get more opinions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

That's better.

Ok, IF eyeclean, I would go with the H. It's biggest, and size is important to most women. In a great cut like this, it will still face up very white, and should knock her socks off.

If it is not eyeclean, then I'd go with the 1.06, assuming it's eyeclean.

Have WF carefully eyeball them for you.

For me, there's no question: the third option of H 1.13ct assuming it's eye-clean, and it looks like it is from the photo. Unless you have a mental preference for a higher color, or your GF has expressed a preference, then bigger is waaaay better in this case. You won't see a hint of color in that stone, I have a WF J and can't see a hint of color, so that's my vote.

If the H scares you, which is shouldn't, then go for the G. It will look slightly smaller (apparently .2mm is noticable) if compared side-by-side with the other, but since you won't ever do that in real life  then it shouldn't matter too much.

Unless your GF is a diamond addicionado, she won't see any color in an ideal cut G or even an H. She, you, and all your friends will only see BIG and SPARKLY!
