Advice on Three Potential Diamonds

[sterling]

Greetings!

I am currently deciding between three diamonds, could you provide your thoughts? The price point for these three are nearly identical, and I am having a hard time deciding whether I should go for these options. Looking to purchase these online so I won't be able to see them in advance. Thanks!

Just going by the specs I'd pick #2

I agree -- #2 is the safer choice, just by the numbers.

ETA: Were these diamonds graded by GIA or AGS or some other lab?

I think number 2 however if you could get Idealscope/ASET it will help determine the best.

Agreed based off the specs I'd get number 2 out of the list. However I would not buy a round diamond with that high of color or clarity. Thousands more for clarity you truly cannot discern and a color that could go down a few shades and still look white.


But that's my humble opinion, you may find clarity more desirable than CTW.
