Are any of these stones "THE STONE"?!? Help Please!

[searchingformybaby]

Hey everyone, I''d really appreciate a little help here. I''ve found 3 stones that seem about right.

I''ve been trying to find a 3/4 carat RB, G-H color, SI1, excellent cut diamond.
I''m really looking for:
-Table: 54-57
-Depth: 58.9-61
-Crown: 34.3-34.7
-Pavillion: 40.7-40.8

I know these aren''t "spot on" but am wondering how much of a difference it''s going to make? I think I''m leaning towards stone #1, but would like opinions and help! Thanks!!

All are AGS (ACA H&A), H, SI1,

Side by side no one is going to tell 1 and 2 apart.
3 has a badly shot IS image but its the same class as the other 2.
Side by side very few people might notice a slight size difference but most wouldnt.
When they are not side by side the difference isnt enough to matter.
Id take the most eyeclean of the first 2.

I agree that they will likely all look the same. The measurements are too close to say one is better than another. I'd personally probably choose #3 because it has the psychological advantage of being 3/4 carat and a minute amount larger. Plus, it's inclusions seem to be off to the side of the table, which is good, and I can't see inclusions in the magnified image.

Thanks for all your input!

A few more questions:
-you all seem to be saying that they all look very similar - in a good way, or are they all not-so-great??
-#1 and #2 have lots of inclusions close to the center of the table - #3 is off to the side
-why does this matter? or does it? is it less ''safe'' or just a mind thing?

I''m going to call Monday to figure out which is the most eye clean... until then, all opinions are appreciated!

Thanks!!!

They are all great choices! Seriously.

While looking at inclusions magnified can be scary, they won't look like that in real life. But it bugs some people, even if they can't see it. Personal preference.

Just get the cleanest and no worries!

someone looking at the stones in person will have to help with the inclusions.
All 3 stones are ACA classics which are some of the top cut diamonds in the world.
