Advice needed to decide which diamond to go for...Thanks!

YVCons · Feb 24, 2019

I am looking to purchase a 1 carat diamond for my proposal and I have come down to four choices from the popular online vendors B2cjewels, JamesAllen, and Whiteflash. I picked these three diamonds from their signature collections as it sounds to have higher quality but the price is higher than the regular ones.

Is it really worth the money to buy a signature one from these online vendors, and I am really not sure which one of these four diamonds would be a better choice. Thanks for your help!

I would rule out #1 bc the angles aren't complimentary and you don't have ASET/IS images. 2-4 look much better. Is there any chance of upgrading in the future? If yes, go with Whiteflash (option 2). B2C doesn't have the same amazing upgrade policy, so I think choosing between 2-4 should come down to that. All 3 look like outstanding performers. Obviously 4 is less clean than 3, so consider that as well. You can always ask WF about how clean option 2 is, since they are an in house vendor (ACA line is).
