As the title suggests, I am in the market for a 1.5ct super-ideal princess cut diamond. From a bit of reading, I have come down to what I believe are some of the best options for optical performance:
1) http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-3329699.htm?source=pricescope
2) http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-3633664.htm?source=pricescope
3) http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.507-g-vs2-princess-diamond-ags-104084753001
I'm trying to keep my budget under 12.5k (wire price). I'm concerned about Whiteflash stone 1 the ASET seems to be pretty different from other super ideals I have seen (less red/brightness, more green, but nicely balanced and congruent). Whiteflash stone 2 is good but does not have the same crown height as stone 1 and stone 3 but the ASET is more in line with what I expected. Stone 3 is obviously the most expensive and caps out my budget, also not sure how obvious the imperfection is on this stone. Obviously, it's a magnified view on the posting, but the imperfections look very obvious and I'm wondering if it's a pretty weak VS2 grading.
I'm open to any suggestions for other super-ideal stones or weighing in on these 3 stones specifically on what would perform the best optically. It's just so much harder to purchase online for princess cut than rounds. Appreciate the forums expertise! Thanks!
