All of these diamonds look as if (by the numbers) they would be eye-popping. Do you have ideal scope pics? What about brilliance scopes? If not, request them. What are the diameters for these diamonds. All things being equal, I go for the bigger diameter. Good luck. If you have those I-scope pics, post them so that we can better help you.

If it were for me, I'd go w/#2, though they all look like they could be winners. I like more dispersion (color flashes) in my stones, and #1 probably would have less because of the shallower crown angle. It would most likely have great white light return though. #3 also has good #s, but is starting to get a little closer to a "steep and deep" combination, and I'd want to check an IdealScope image to make sure there was no leakage under the table. BUT, we're splitting hairs here, these are probably all gorgeous!

I ran a quick search for you here on PriceScope for similar stones. Here's what I found...And by the way, that .76 D VS1 from Winfield's? Well, I've seen it, and it's gorgeous. I discuss it in this thread.

Hope that helps!

Why the D-E color? It seems to me the popular opinion is that 99% of the time you could drop that color to like a G-H or even I and get a larger stone that looks the same for a very similar price.
