10mm Stone Selection - help me pick!

[shellyisa]

Hi again - after yesterday and missing out on some awesome stones, I put a few on hold and would lovvvve if you wonderful people could help me pick one or two.

I’ve narrowed down my list to these 5 stones. Some are at the higher end of my budget and others more affordable. I can spend up to the top of the range if absolutely necessary - but if I can save a $ to use towards an eternity band to go with it, that would be wonderful I really want something amazing for the center stone though, so going to prioritize that.

Can you help me prioritize these stones in order you would select them? Or what are your top two and why? The why will help me and others learn from you!

The stones are on hold until tomorrow morning - appreciate any help or guidance!

Attached the specs I pulled together, but also linking below exact stones:

3.8 EVS2 $5,259

3.91 GVS2 $4,492 H&A

4.04 FVS1 $7,094 H&A

3.8 FVS2 $4,190

I'm not a big fan of either of the 3.80 stones or the local vendor's stone. I like the middle two a lot. The G is only 0.21mm smaller than the F but a lot cheaper--I'd get the G to save money unless you want the increased color and clarity.

Thank you so much!

To help me learn, can you tell me why you prefer the two middle ones? Is it due to the H&A?

@DejaWiz would love your thoughts too if you have time

No, I don't put much stock into IGI's H&A designation. I like the middle two because they have more balanced proportions and are more precisely cut than the other two.

The F looks much cleaner to me.

The F looks much cleaner to me.

Hi! Which F?
