Advice on Diamonds [1.6-1.7 carat]

[guyfrost]

Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking to purchase this week for an engagement ring and have narrowed the choices from James Allen to three diamonds. What are your thoughts!?

1. 1.63 Carat D Color VS1 Ideal
   • Table: 56.5%
   • Crown: 35%
   • Pavilion: 40.7%
   • 7.52 X 7.56 X 4.67
   • $3,740
2. 1.64 Carat D Color VVS2 Ideal
   • Table: 56.5%
   • Crown: 34.4%
   • Pavilion: 40.8%
   • 7.53 X 7.60 X 4.67
   • $4,810
3. 1.72 Carat D Color VVS2 Ideal
   • Table: 56%
   • Crown: 34.9%
   • Pavilion: 40.7%
   • 7.68 X 7.71 x 4.74
   • $5,690

This will pair with a yellow-gold ring. The 1.63 for $3.7k seems like the best value but looking for your interpretation. Planning to propose in Tuscany in October

They are all beautiful stones. I'd go with the 1.63 for the value.

Along the lines of DejaWiz's suggestion, I would get one of these stones if it were me.

If you want some more options, I scoured Ritani's inventory and found these. Use code LAB3 for 3% off the diamond.
