A little help with diamond selection, please

[sarahthewarrior]

Hi guys,

My boyfriend and I are looking at engagement rings--we''re thinking of a center round diamond flanked by two smaller tsavorite stones (I was highly discouraged from using emerald) in a trellis setting. Anyway, here are the diamonds he''s picked out so far, so I was looking for a little feedback. (We know nothing about girdle, culet, and fluorescence, so if you could give us an idea of what a good range is for these, that would be great.) Here are the links:

The GIA ones seem pretty deep, but I didn't HCA them.

The AGS1...well, numbers look good, wbut why get an AGS1? The AGS 0, looks interesting....

Your ring sounds a bit like my idea (except I''m not going for a round center). You can search for my thread if interested. You can also consider green sapphire as well as tsavorite--both were recommended as emerald alternatives.
